"happiness to this family,” were torn 
away and new ones put in their 
places, old and young dressed them- 
selves in their best clothing, feas ted 
ami kept holiday. They" reasoned 
thus : As the-plague was. declared to 
lie this year, by their declaring the 
old year out and the new one iu they 
would he Iii a fair way of getting the 
best of the plague god by gelling 
ahead of him, and'thus cheating h iu. 
And so we find them always trying 
to cheat their gods. They never offer 
them any pure silver or gold: t is all 
tin foil and glitters like gold and 
I sliver ‘If they offer their gods food 
or fruit it is only left before them a 
few minutes, and then it is removed. 
They tlie worshipers, feast upon it 
amfhftve a gay 'time, hut tWjnJhis 
presence. They take tlie offerings in- 
to another room or 'behind a door 
, where tlie god pan not sop them. 

In Japan whim the worshiper goes 
i before l lip god to worship lie pulls a 
i rope or cord whUh is near tlie body, 
i and immediately claps his hands as 
loudlv as he can to wake him tip if

—The Bishop of Liverpool is one. 
of the most evangelical and catholic- 
spirited of Anglican divines. He 
preached some time ago in a Presby- 
terian Church ‘and raised, a buzz 
around his .ecolesiastloal ears. He 
now cOmes out in an address and 
says unless Bishops are treated, witjh 
' more fairness and consideration, soon 
no right-minded and high-souled 
man, who loves direct spiritual work 
and, hates wasting precious time in 
strife, will consent to be a Blsbop at 
all. As the author of a popular 
series of religious tracts Bishop Ryle 
is best known. Such an evangelical 
Christian must be annoyed by the 
Romanising party of his church. 

It will be remembered that he wrote 
President Charles Garrett, of the 
Wesleyan Conference, a very fra- 
ternal letter more than a year ago on 
the "occasion of his election. We 
•honor him for his ty^JdlXcatholipity 
and Christian courage. A few more

— The particulars of the double 
tradegy in „ Yazoo City, Miss., are 
enougli tamake every citizen shud- 
der with shathe and sorrow. On the 
night (if December 24 three white 
men were killed and two others 
wounded in an encounter with a 
squad of negroes. The diffl'-ulty was 
not the result of race or political 
prejudice, but, from what we can 
gather, was the bloody work of mean 
whisky.-;. The first’-: trouble occurred 
.In.a salami- between one QLU’.e. white 
men and a negro. He went oil*, sum- 
moned other friends, and returned 
only to meet his death. The negroes 
were promptly urrested and lodged 
In jail. Two public .Tuectings'of tic 
citizens were held when it was deter- 
mined .that the prisoners should have 
a fair trial in the courts. But on 
Saturday night, the twenty-ninth 
ultimq, aufarmed body of men over- 
powered the jailor and lynched four 
negroes. Buch violence is a stigma 
upon any community and demands 
condemnation-. There is no apology- 
for this second • outrage however 
dreadful the llrst. Every law-abiding 
citizen is vitallly concerned to know 
who were the . lynchers. Nothing is 
so shocking to our civilization as. the 
tyranny of lynch law. 


bring unfeigned sorrow to every 
Mississippi Methodist, is the burn* 
ing of the entire manuscript records 
of the Mississippi Conference from 
the first Informal session In 1813 to 
the one just closed, inclusive. As 
secretary I have bpi-ii preserving 
them \wAh fond ckfe for eighteen 
years, but, alas! the ruthless flames 
had no regard for the precious relics 
of other years. -• 

It is a great comfort in our calam- 
ity to find such universal sympathy 
expressed for us by tire kind, noble 
people of this city. Numerous doors 
are thrown open to give us shelter 
and a home, and our special friends 
and relatives, Dr. James M. Hunt 
and wife, insist that it is their right 

andhave generously taken. UH .aJ l.mtn 

the hearty hospitality of their ele- 
gant home. Articles of wearing ap- 
parel and money have been freely 
supplied, The kind ladies are busy 
plying their machines to supply 
their needy sisters with something 
to wear, and one .thoughtful ’and 
liberal gentleman, friend, the only 
one", by the way, in tile city who 
rises high enough to do such a tiling, 
has fitted me to'an entire suit of his 
owh clotlies. 

Not" only members of -our .own 
church have been prompt and liberal 
in supplying our wants, but even 
those who before were comparative 
.strangers to us have warmed our 
hearts by their sympathetic and 
valued attention. We feel profound- 
ly grateful to eaclt and al 1/ ■>[, our 
benefactors, and do earnesUy invoke 
God’s choicest blessings to rest upon 
them. 

It is with a crippled and half-dazed 
kind of feeling that we look out upon 
the -future. Oh!- -if God will only 
verify his promise that these light 
afflictions, whicii are but for a mo- 
ment, will work out for us a far more 
exceeding and eternal weight of 
glory, we will strive, from the depths 
of our tSonseiousness, to say : “Thy 
will be done.”

Mit F.ihtor : The house we re- 
sided in was burned this morning 
about three o'clock. We barely 
esoaped with our lives with only the 
Clothes in which we were sleeping. 
How the fire originated we do not 
know, only that it was>'eomiiiuui- 
cated to our house from .the tenement 
adjoining. But for the providential 
awakening pf.Mrs. Kearney, my 
wife’s mother, we would doubtless 
all have been burned to death. Bhe 
herself came very near perishing; 
one 'moment more and sufioeation 
would have been complete, l'or a 
time we feared that she had Inhaled 
the flames, but now find tliat she lias 
escaped with-one hand and h§f face 
burned not very severely. None of 
the rest of us, wife, live chtldreu and 
self, were hurt, Devout thanks be 
unto our God foreyer aud forever. 

It is hard to realize that our, earths 

Iy store lias been swept away in one 

hour, and' tliat we have absolutely 
nothing of personal property save 
the following articles, which were 
rescued, viz ; one piano, two center- 
tables, one writing-desk, the dishes 
and plates which remained oft the 

table from the evening meal, and a 
portion of tlie silver 'spoons and 
forks, Fortunately I ipyself had not 
much money, .as I generally find an 
urgent demaifd for it as soon as it 
comes. In hand ; , but my wife had 
been saving up little' sums- for a 
special purpose until it aggregated 
quite a little amount, but this; to- 
gether with jewelry and trinkets of 
her girlhood, as also three gold 
watphes, one of them an heirloom, 
was consumed.

This is to remind you tliat, i>y tlie 
action of the committee at our la«t. 
Conference, it is made tlie duty of the 

District Committees to make.arrangC- 

menta for carryiug out tlie plan pro- 
posed by the Central Committee in 
their respective districts. / 

1. They are to determine when and 
where mass meetings shall be held, 
and make all necessary arrangements 
for complete success. 

2. It is made their duty to deter- 
mine in what month collectlons.slittll 
bff taken up in every congregation in 
the district. 

3. They are to determine what day 
shall be devoted to tlie children, and 
make all necessary arrangements for 
the success of that part of the work. 

4. They are to ^e tliat special cen- 

tennial services are held on the fourth" 
Sunday iu May throughout the dis- 
trict. - \ 

I would puggest that thtse commit- 
tees meet at an early day and begin 
the work as soop as practicable. The 
presiding- elders will sdnd names to 
Dr. Harrison, secretary of Central 
Committee, to fill vacancies that may 
have been caused b^ythe change of

This is a "story of a sea-port town., 
The scene is laid in Landsport, which 
is readily recognized as Portland— the 
Portland of other years. It is indeed a 
charming book, full of incidents and 
I revolutions .characteristic of the time 
and place. What a grand time the boys 
did have! While reading it, w.e almost 
wish our lot had fallen among the 
scenes ami sports of those days. One 
reviewer ol the volume lias well said, 
“While seeking to entertain, Mr. FI well

• (Tliirty-8‘’VojiU» Letter.) 

My Dear Young Friends: 1 am 
going to toll you something more of 
this peculiar people. Home twelve 
Years ago- the lloods in the north of 
China were said to in 1 so severe as to 
cover more than twenty thousand 
square miles, it is said this year to 
he much worse. Ruined villages and 
croiw-.are to be seen .on every hand,, 
amitlie people in maiiy places are in 
a ntarvlng con<iit.iou.‘ (Jreat crowns 
of homeless and-foodless refugees arc 
seen wandering about in every direc- 
tion. During the last twenty years 
many calamities have fallen upon the 
city of Tientsin rat'd the surrounding 
country. Twice or three times dur- 
ing ilia- 

city lias been burned. In lst>2 HQt 
less than. twenty thousand of-the in- 
hahitants wefe carried, oil' by cholera. 
In 1863 tiie insurgents came down 
upon them and did a good deal ol. 
damage- all though ■ the country, 
though .they did not take the city. 
Iu 1X61 the English and French occu- 
pied the city and took possession. of! 
the city. of Peking, ami in ls.71 they 
luid tlieir detune of water upon them, 
mid now, 1883, tiie lloods seem about 
to be more severe than ever before. 

* Many Chinese are asking, W hat does 
ad this mean? Tltere are liuntlreds 
aud tliousands perishing from hunger, 
mnhforced to eat tile leaves and. bark 

* of trees 


disappear i(t leisure, add had other 
dragons tQ. r pqeompany it. This was 
made kno&n to tiie Chinese authori- 
ties at Tientsin, and they began to] 
inapit preparations to receive .the ■ 
"dragon king." it was taken to a 
temple where incense was oll'ered to 
it, and the officials nil prostrated 
themselves before It. This small rep- 
tile, scarcely six inches long, was 
placetl upon a Chinese, plate cover&d 
witli yellow paper upon which to lie,- 
antl a small piece of tiie same to cover 
it with. And then tiie mandarins 
again prostrated themselves before it, 
and then the people wore allowed to 
come land worship it. Theatricals 
were given yi honor of it. its appro- 
bation was shown by letting the head 
full, and its 'disapprobation ny throty- 
, ing its head-backward. .-O ne . of . l hs 

highest- officers in the empire, Lec- 
Hung-Chang, wbnt and paid it 
divine honors hy prostrating himself 
three times before it and knocking 
■his head nine times bn the ground. 
It is lo be lioped*that Lee, t li if* great 
man. lias learned a little corrrtuon 
j sense by this time — 1SS3 : but I nave 
! my doubts. • * ' * 

Two missionaries visited tins tem- 
ple and were admitted without any 
difficulty. Tiie temple was crowded 
almost day and night', and theatricals 
were being acted. These two men 
went uji a (light of steps an dint o tiie 
room where the:, shake, was kept. 
The robin was ytjry dark, hut they 
could see images at tiie other eud. 
Tiler, n werfc two tables. On the 11 rat 
was incense urns, candlesticks, etc., 
and soni’e forty or fifty dishes of fruit 
aud meats. On tile second wjts u 
tablet witli' an inscription on white 
paper— "Tiie Divine .Throne of tiie 
Golden Dragon King.." Jn front of 
tills lay tliedisli with.the littlS aiRtke. 
A large man .dressed ib.il Jfflf !l>bft 
stood near. As the two missionaries 
went up the steps, Home one from the 
crowd called out, “ Don t let Die 
Iragon filing’ see llid foreign devil 


tell tiie same story., Gambling is 
prevalent ttr a degree which gtihe r, 
quiet' people never dream of. it is 
practiced- ofteii, imieetl, in a. small 
way and for moderate stakes— by 
thousands ot -young* men in all ow?- 
cities ; practiced in tiie privacy of 
tticir rooms at their lodging-houses,- 
as well as in houses Tor "professional 
play. Employers little suspecL- 
ulas! fathers and mothers little sus- 
pect -wliut devilish mischief-is going 
on under tlie-cover of secrecy. -Many 
of the'larcenies committed ill stores, 
coiinling-roohis anti banks (some of 
which are “hushed up-" in order to 
save reputations) are committed in, 
order to cover lip the losses at the 
card-table. On tiie other hand, the 
illegitimate winnings at the same 
tables will account for tiie tine equi- 
page or showy turn-outs of certain 
last men whose legitimate income is 
too slender to maintain sucli extrava- 
ganci.' Gambling is a moral pest- 
ilence tliat “_walketh, in tiarlfiicss, 
and, therefore j its terrible prevalence 
eseapes.’publiti- blvioryatlon. II is uot 
decreasing. ■' 

Tliis perilous practice, winch so 
.often -becomes fatal-to character and 
to' the soul begins, just as drunk- 
•Vnesss ^Begins, witli playing witli 
fire. At the bottom of tile first glass 
of wine which the tippler tampered 
with lay an adder. 'Underneath the 
first dime that is ever thrown down 
in n game of ehauee is concealed a 
serpent. When a yoiiug man makes 
ills first bet, or puts up his first wager 
on a -match, or a race; or when he 
risks liiH first penny at a card-table, 
he puts a co'al of tiro into his bosom 
which is not easily 'extinguished lit. 
ma</ kimll"' into 5T eoUflftglWmiT , 
which, iu the tremendous language 
of Bcripturo, “will '.burn unto \\n* 
lowest hell.” The step tliat costs is 
tiie first step. .'Gambling fom penny

losses by •.‘corners,” "pools,” etc.,

word. Bondi trust it. A life ortjei-etl 
according to God's laws is notagame 
of chalice. Every dollar got by any 
other method than inheritance or 
honest industry makes you poorer. 
Let it alone; or it may eat into your 
soul like fire. The awful tragedy 
described at the opening of tills arti- 
cle began with the first dime laid 
down 'in a game of hazard.— New

they are frequently In tiie way of 
men being chosen unto honor. The 
vessels of wood anti stone are. regard- 
ed as vessels to dishonor. Refuse 
goes into them. Dirty ami common 
articles are kept in them until they 
become unfit for higher service. 
They.nbsorb taste, odor and impuri- 
ties from! what they, eon tain. A 
mackerel tub never loses irs mackerel 
taste. An earthen jug containing 
turpentine will hardly ever he tit for

" vessels to dishonor ” to hold slops

The youthful mind is apt lo retain

of sanctity or foulness will abide and 
affect all tliat shall lie taken in the

vast amount. One drop of turpentine 
will give its taste to a ban'll of water; 
so tiie llavor of a single act or habit, 
not outbroken itself, may, tjilnt the

In ls71 an officer was sent to see 
tin- coudltiou of the river bank and 
liring back an answer. He found a 
small hole in one of the dykes, and 
in this small' hole lie found a fish. 
This-was declared at once to he a god, 
atni it was decided useless to under- 
take to heal the breach thus ‘opened, 
as' it. was tlio will of heaven. The 
story, of the AhIi grew, aud it was 
soon declared there were two fishes 
that one had gone up the riven while 
the other remained at the. breach, 
ami tliat it wqulil he useless to do 
anything until tiie other .returned. 

A few- ilayH after tliis one of the 
officers of tiie city went in great 
pomp to make sacrifice .to a fabulous 
tortoise supposed to have grept power 
over the floods. The officer told of 
tiie great sutlerlngs of the people, and 
of the inatiy fruitless attempts to 
stop tiie breach, and then impored 
tiie god to allow them pow to. suc- 
ceed before any damage was done. 
They then set to work to repair tlio 
danm'ge; but soon all was swept 
away by tlio flood of waters. Tiie 
officer grew angry anil went again 1 to 
the god ; but on tliis occasion lie did 
not go to worship. Ho began to 
abuse the god ami placed cannon in

“Bid I not tell you we wanted you to

went the guns at tiie god, and after 
this Hje offlcerl feeling satisfied, re- 
turned to his home feeling he had

How Gambling Begins. 


A IMjAIN TAIJv with

CUYLEIt. D. IL 


is ill ub* 
of a 


How gambling often r "’/' 
trated by tiie recent sulfide 
young man of high social standing 
who wits well known in tiui -'-sport- 
ing ” liircles of New York. a, \M' er - 
ing with cards and tint ^oulette-talile 
bad aroused in him the same insane 
furor which tampering with the 
bottle arouses ill tiie victims of strong 
drink. Wo are told that tins wretch- 
ed young man married; hut j; 

marriage did not' cure him of wliatf 
had become a positive disease. Little 
gambling .parties in Ids rooms at the 
lintel and reckless,, plunging at tlio 
public tallies soon ran aWftjRwith all 
liis winnings anil witli the !g renter 
part of ills fortune besides. At, las , 

.. .i iw> fmiiul himself 


a few. mefnths ago, lie found 
ruined. His former friends fought 
sliv of' liftiiV and in a |>ltlably ^ de- 

Dressed frame of mind, lie said : IU

number is legZ. Vany of theniys- and &oF6 tl 


soul appetites. With the 'excitement 
of, a game of liaiard comes the strong 
temptation to risk a stake on tlio 
game: As soon as tiie first stake is 
daid down/ conscience goes with it, 
and literally tiie devil lias a hand 
williyyou in (lie game. Ho strong is 
tlieffascinatlou of tliis spell of sorcery 
thatVI liave seen— in the public “C’on- 
versazipu-lialle." of Baden Baden— 
well-dressed ladies-watcii tiie roulette- 
table until they became so bewitched 
with the play that they would furtive- 
ly toss a gold Nupoleon over on tile 
table from behind tiie crowd; the 
-" gambling element” in them had 
taken fire. Now just here lies the 
peril with you, my young friend; 
tlio -excitement of games of hazard 
sets you in a flame ; then comes a 
small stake; then a larger. If you 
win, you play to wiu more; if you 
lose, you play on to make up your 
-losses, Before you know it, you are 
a gambler. Tiie only Hate aud sure 
way is to stop before you begin. 

lint it is not only from curd-tables 
and faro-banks tliat mischief is -to be 
apprehended. .Jfliuiy young men are 
tempted- to “take a small .risk ” in 
mining stocks or other vulatile stocks 
tliat were playing up aud down in 
tiie market. I liave known a Half 
dozen mere lads to "pool” tlieir 
earnings or tlieir pocket money-in a 
venture. on a share or two of stock. 
This rage for dabbling in stpeks 
turns hundreds of young men into 
actual gamblers, although they would 
he shocked if tiie ugly name was 

J plied to them. , They are ' not 
jcked at the thing itself. Instead 
feeling tliat only tliQ money lion- 
ly earned is honestly, got, they are 
seduced into hazardous ventures, 
which, ill God’s sight, are aH genuine 
gambling as any tliat is perpetrated 
behind the locked doors of one of 
those " hells " that defy the laws. 

The dangers to young men are in- 
creasing from three causes. 1 , Tliere 
is a growing passion to get rich sud- 
denly and easily. 2. The gambling 
„ „ insinuating itself more 
of 6 tuRrtheTrade-of the eouu- 


we may eonsttmtly improve and 
learn to do well, that which we did 
ill or nor lit all tlie'ycar- before. But 
"wlio can understand his errors 
that lie may correct them ?. None, 
perhaps, b. or of himself. l" e

judicious . friends,, alone, can point

confidential 'Tricitd, know" in tins 
capacity only to himself, who shall 
kiudly'teHj4m of every fault seen- 
or heard of iii his character or con- 
duet. Let, us determine to improve. 

A faithful wife is a helpful critic; 
tint, as a part ue r, sh e is- natura lly 
partial, so that her offices lh till’s

results of fraternal correction. For 
lack of this in a fly. have dwindled 
.who should have been -growing, and 
zealous ministers have failed .ot an 
easy-possible measure of usefulness. 

If our field is a new one, it is not 
Wholly new. Human nature is mqclt

and otir blunders in another cliarge

Perhaps the peqple of that' circuit 
dread -ytm tis inTteh as you do tlieni. 
Thinkof Joirah and go. Think-, too, 
of how great a trust, lias been .com- 
mitted to you, even tliat of carrying 
the 'word iif salvation to m'eji who 


are perisliilig for lack of it. Think 
of wliat an infallible remedy you 
have for all tiie woes of man. 'But 
do you fear lest you may. not he able- 
to prove the Bible to .be true? That 
is not required of any. Infidelity 
rests upon negation/ naked and self- 
destructive, negation, unsupported hy 
any evidence. ' Let ua preach the 
Bible, and God will prove it true. 
•No iufldel can kufiw' anything about 
God except wliat the Bibmells him. 
The Bible furnishes no alignments to 
overthrow itself. We kffow the ex- 
cellence of its doctrines by experience, 

and challenge- the world to teat tlieir 
Truth by trial'. When setting out in 
life I studied medicine,' but did not 
enter upon tiie practice because I 
feared tliat, after learning all I could 
about the .science, tiie medicines I 
should prescribe might do tiie patiqnta 
w ho took them more harm than good. 
But I can procluim tiie gospel witli 
absolute certainty of its beuefloial 
results to. all wlio receive it. It is 
God’s riimedy for all human alule- 
tious, and it never fails. Yet'l may 
fail. Therein the danger lies. Wliat 
vast. and fearful responsibility rests 
upon a minister of Hie gospel. 

" ’Tis not ft CttUSt* of HDiftll import

' But wliftt might fill au angel'n heart, 

Arid rilled ft Saviour's hands.” 

What solemnly binding w,prds 
were those \yc heard, when we were 
set apaft as deacons or. elders : "Take 
thou authority to read thoAHOty 
Scriptures in the church of God, and 
to preaoli tiie same ;” aud "Be thou 
a faithful dispenser of the word of 
God aiid of his holy sacraments. 
O, that we could read! (). that, we 
could preach ! Whole sufficient for 
these things? Only those whom 
God endows with powiir from on 
high. God has greatly honored us 
“putting us in trust with the gospel." 
Tills world confers no title so honor- 
able as that of V. D. M., when it is 
worjthily worn. Let ministers mag- 
nify thelc office, «od saysjo ..ua, Go 


which thou liast lieuril o^ine

story called “NSliemlah’s Plan"— that 
is, as all Bible readers know, for every 
one to build opposite his own door. It 
is not a bad, plan. Try It. If your 
preacher is not aa eloquent and Impres-

fatidy it will belt) him to tell everyone 
you meet how,, had you.feel about It.* 
Don't' forget that as much depends upon 
tho eye . you seo things wltb, ajs upon 
the tilings themselves. Have you not 
heard people teTl how, when they were 
first eonv'erted, the trees and the fields 
and the hills seemed to rejoice with a

one else Is at the holm, whore you once 
were, that the vessql is going on the

wero better than these,” because you 
I had larger capacity for enjoyment, 
j There were not half so good. No man 
or woman over sixty, without a good 
deal of grace, can think tho world is ss

What Can We Do for Missions, 

nV ItK.V. C. WHJTMKItf 

Wlien you liave roail and hoard imridi 
about missions; when hooks amKptil- 
plt appeal to you to take tip thhy work, 
naturally you ask, What can' we do? 

(l.y Ym\ run become ilccjili/injercxtcil 
in inhsim i.i, arid without th* yoil...w)J/ 
do little else. 'Phis interest comosi part- 
ly from a study of the Bible! The Old 
Tosta'nreut, if rightly read A is full of 


gospels 

k, and the 
first mis- 


prophesies about the Overiu^tirig kitig 
dom which Is to cover the wl ole earth; 
and Is not the New Testamei t 
cally a missionary hook? Tli 
tell of the preparatory wor 
epistles are letters from the 
sionaries. I 

This Interest comes also largely froni 
reading the news from the Held. l»o 
you remember, twenty years ago mdn 
could hardly wait for th«< daily paper, 
to know h(.w tho war/ was KOHiK? 
What an earnest citizenship ! Hut shall 
wo have less .Interest inf regard to. the 
Lord's battle? Said oif old minister; 

I “I .rend t he iiewapapurk cli.letly to see. 
How Uod is governinlg the world. 
Why should not every I ‘hristiati iamily 
hate the church paper? Why should f 
hot a large majority have also a good , 
missionary paper? 

'1 hen, too, how many magazines are 
published, for general use, lof women, 
for childreh".. How many books ol mis- 
sionary biography, travel and history . 
fill the Sunday-school' rind family 
\ library with suclilnaUor.

it would lie very wrong to exclude

members of the cimrch, therefore, bap- 
tized children stand on the same piano 
with' adult and regenerate members' 
Thero is another perplexing question 
attending the reception of adults, who 
were baptized in infancy into the 
church. Why do wo again go through 
with the form of receiving them into 
tlio church if they wore inducted into 
tho church by baptism in infancy ? | 
Let it be understood that baptized chil- | 
Tlron are mombors of both the visible | 
and invisible church or kingdom until j 
they become individually accountable, 
and then they are no longer members 
nf tlie visible, unless they satisfy- anil 
confirm tlie vows publicly taken by 
llioir paronts in infancy, which act con- 
stitutes liietu adult members ol tlie 
visible cimrch of Christ. And tlioy are 
bo longer lifomhera. of the invisible 
oil li reli or kingdom, unless renewed in 
tlie tompor and spirit of their minds. 

it is quite possible, as I liav.o intl- 
.'niateil, for tliem to bo, mombors of tlie 
visible church without this ; hut not so 
of tho invisible kingdom. There aro 
dulios and obligations incumbent upon 
adult members which have 110 hearing 
( upon infant niembefs. Such, for. ex- 
ample, us repentance, faith ami olje- 
I (lienee. Whatever of these that ynuuy 
he required 'of cliildren must iie dis- 
, c.liargetl by tho paront. As parents 
stand in tlio same relation to their cljil- 
. dren that Ood dyos to us all, they aro 
required to teach tlieir Children these 
duties— to train them up in tho nurture, 
-rear and admonition of tlie Lord.

The following heuutiful figure, 
'Used by Bishop ( iranhery In a recent 
sermon-; is at otice striking and sug- 
gestive: 

(The perfect Archer calls the deer 
his own even before the shaft has 
gone .from his how. Oh ! that God 
may give us such faitli in the means 
that we are employing for the salva- 
tion of the. world. A faith to Olaini 
success and victory as ours, even be- 
fore we have reached it. 


On the seventeenth of December 
last the prohibitionists carried the 
town of Columbia by a vote -of thirty 
to ten. And on the twentieth ultimo 
four wards in the parish were carried 
'by a laige majority. Three wards 
.held no election, as no liquor is sold 
in either. So seven wards out of ten 
have already declared for prohibi- 
tion. Everything encourages the 
cause of reform., Thorough organiza- 
tion and zealous work will acWievea 
glorious triumph. We do not expect 
die millennium with the overthrow 
of tile liquor traffic, but we do look 
fo.ra great curse to be remo.yed, so 
that grace may more abound, and 
Scriptural holiness more rapidly 
spread over the earth. 

Another Episcopal clergymau haB 
emulated Dr. Heber Newton in his 
pronounced opposition to the ortho- 
dox view of the inspiration of the 
Scriptures— the Rev. Dr. llush, of 
Staten Island. The following, 'from 
the New York Sun, are wise words 
from an unexpected quarter, and 
our sister church would do well to' 
heed them : 

Is it not strange that the Epis- 
copal Church nermits the utterance 
in its pulpits of views regarding the 
Bible which under.nitne the very 
foundations ,of its theology? Take 
away faith in the Scriptures as the 
inspired, all-sufficient uipl unques- 
tionable word of God; and there re- 
mains nothing for tiiat theology to 
rest upon. Iteason has replaced 
faitli, and criticisiii lias supjVlahted 
devout belief in the written word.

No system;" iet , so' marvellously 
adapted to all conimiinities-aud all 
conditions of society as Methodism. 
Many suppose it eminently useful in 
pioneer work, but lacks the conserv- 
atism needed for older and denser 
populations. It is good fd t the coun- 
try, but fails in the cities. Those 
who so imagine evidence dense ignp 7 
ranee of history. The Loudon Meth- 
odist Recorder, of recent date, says: 

“ In no part of the United Kingdom 
has Methodism so grown in the last 
twenty-five years as in London.” 
Bight in the great metropolis of its 
birth, and where we would suppose 
the conditions of growth are most 
unfavorable for our itinerancy, tlie 
increase has been greutest. We only 
need to wisely work our wonderful 
system tp perpetuate the Pentecostal 
• glory of its early triumphs in old 
Fetter Lane, Moorfields, and on 
Kenuinglon Common. 

The (Schenectady Union New j

HU joy was unbounded in being 
able to look upon, the faces of his 
family again for the first tiffin ten 
years. He had never seen his grand-

Louisiana Conference. 

1 Tills* body met oil Wednesday of 
last week in tlie Caroiidelet Street 
Church'; Bishop II. It. Kavanaugh 
presiding. Nearly all the members 
| responded to tlie first roll-call, and 
1 quite a number of laymen. Most of 
| the brethren from the rural districts 
had the bronzed look of field service, 
and each had the step and expression 
iif courage and sclf-denlAl. Bbtfew' 
sections of our wide connection de- 
mand so much heroism and fortitude 
to cultivate as a large area of Louisi- 
ana. We honor tlie brave men who, 
amid untold ^lifficulties, have kept 
our Hag unfurled and preached a gos- 
pel of free and full salvation in all 
these lands. Their greeting of each 
other was most cordial. In no other 
body is there such an esprit dc corps 
as in au Annual Conference of Meth- 
odist! ministers. And these annual 
gatherings nerve to keep alive the 
warm attachment between comrades 
in a common cause. We condole 
with any preacher who Is bereaved 
of this amiUal’prlviIege. 

The devotional exercises of the 
opening session had the glow of a 
Ca nap-meet tug-. Buoh .fervent pray- - 
ingaml-hearty. singing we have rare- 
ly heard. It is well to stress the de- 
votional spirit in Conference deliber- 
ations. The morning worship should 
not he a mere form, hut have the 
genuine spirit and jower of true re- 
ligion. It gives a^ooil key-note to 
the day’s doings. Ambassadors of 
God, assembled to confer about the 
great interests of his kingdom, must 
keep prominent not only tlie Mas- 
ter’s business, but the Master’s 
| Spirit. 

The Conference organized by the 
eh'etlon iif Dr.-C. F. Evans as secre- 
tary end B. B. McCutchen, Esq., as 
statistical secretary. One of the first 
items of business transacted was the 
adoption of a resolution requiring a 
rearrangement of the roll of members 
according to seniority of admissloli, 
readmissiop or transfer into the Con- 
ference. Such an order lias hereto- 
fore not obtained. While the presid- 
ing elders were, nut preparihg-4Ue 
standing committees, 'Dr. DaVid 
Morton, secretary of the Church Ex- 
tension Society, was introduced, and 
addressed the Conference in behalf 
of that cause. It was a straightfor- 
ward, business-like talk, in the spirit 
of a man tremendously in earnest 
and wholjy absorbed in ills work. 
The General Conference acted wisely 
in laying an embargo upon his or- 
ganizing and executive brain, and 
calling him to the leadership of a 
new departure. Church extension 
is already one of our most popular 
collections, and soon wHl command 
the largest liberality of Wur congre- 
gations. We are especially desirous 
that the Loan Fund of $500,000 shall 
lie raised this Centenary year, and of 
this we have little doubt. Dr. Mor- 
ton intimated Hint 'some Centetfary 
donations’ were expected- to that 
fund that would at once astonish and 
thrill the whole church. Bo mote it 
speedily lie. The church extension 
.anniversary was held oil Wednesday 
night in . the spacious auditorium of 
Carondelet, with addreAies liy Bishop 
Kavanaugh and Dr. Morton. The 
collection for dip. year exceeded 
eleven hundred dollars, about seven ty 
per cent, of tlie assessment. 

Centenary College and Mansfield 
Female College were presented to 
the Conference in most excellent re- 
ports, the formerwritten by Bishop 
Keener, the latter by Dr. F. M. 
Grace. Centenary irf" having com- 
paratively a very prosperous term), 
with a larger graduadng T c]ass than 
has appeared .upon that platform 
since the war. President Bush is 
demonstrating more and more his 
eminent fitness for the position he 
occupies. ' Under all ,(he circum- 
stances Mansfield Female College Ik 
doing .remarkably well. After the 
shock and widespread effect of last 
summer's tragedy, many friends 
feared, that its halls could not be 
opened this term. But President 
Grace has evidenced great caution 
and wisdom, and already the college 
I has quite regained public confidence 
and favor. -That institution has had 
au honored history in North Louisi- 
ana Methodism, and is a real neces- 
sity amoug tlie conservative forces 
of our churcli'iii that vast and fruit- 
ful section. 

Bishop Parker occupied the chair 
from time to time, much to the 
gratification of his old Conference 
comrades. This was their first op- 
portunity of observing him in that 
capacity, hiH episcopate heretofore 
being exercised entirely in the Btate 
of Texas. He rules with diligence 
and dispatches business with east 
and accuracy. A Bishop off' duty at 
Conference must enjoy a comfortable 
, atfff comTflttb'eut' mind. lie has not 
the care of the appointments to tax 
liis'brain and sympathies, and often 
disturb the hours that should, be 
given to sleep. Possibly few of us 
appreciate how great is the strain 
upon a Bishop in endeavoring to 
make such disposition of our forces 
as best to conserve the interests of 


the church and not to afilict a single 
brother or liis family. Providence 
in the cabinet ^the secret of his wise 
decisions. 

The reports of the preachers, con- 
sidering the overflow and drought; 
from both of which Louisiana has 
suffered, were very creditable and 
encouraging. They had stood brave- 
ly at their posts, and worked with a 
zeal and ability that has been honor- 
ed of God. We know fio nobler type 
of manhood than a true, conscien- 
tious Methodist preacher. 

“.Missionary day,” conducted by 
Dr. Kelley, was an occasion long id 
be remefnbered. After the mission- 
ary treasurer’s report wns read he 
called out first the laymen and then 
the preachers to state the difficulties 
in the way of raising the collections. 
When these bad been given the doc- 
tor- took the platform; and- for an 
hour or more delivered one of the 
most practical, near chin;/, aggressive 
and earnest missionary addresses 
we ever.lieard. He made points and 
sharpened them. Never once did he* 
utter a venerable platitude. Some 
may difi'er and others object, but-the 
address Will -provoke thought and 

good worhsr-' ■ - — , — 

. The Centenary. Committee organ- 
ized, outlined their work for the year 
and appointed a wide-awake execu- 
tive committee. Dr. C. W, Carter 
was appointed to preach the Cen- 
tenary sermon before the next Con- 
ference. ■* 

On Saturday Bro. L. D. Palmer, 
business manager of the Publishing 
House, arrived fresh from the Florida 
Conference and at once proceeded to 
business. He was warmly welcomed, 
and found generous patronage in 
this body of marked ‘coiiuectioual 
loyalty. 

President Bush, of Centenary Col- 
lege, made an address, in behalf of 
that institution that awakfened a 
hearty response. His speech Was in- 
terrupted by au impromptu collec- 
tion of |20.0 for the purpose of susr 
taiuing a young licentiate who is 
there preparing for the itinerant 
work.

The Advocate, for 1884. 

Our patronizing Conferences have” 
all heid recent annual sessions, en- 
dorsed the business and editorial 
conduct of the Advocate, and 
pledged themselves to increased 
effbrt in extending its circulation. 
We are grateful. for expressions of 
confidence and appreciation, and en- 
ter upon the new year’s work with 
fresh inspiration and aspiration. It 
is our purpose-to glvtj all diligence to 
its several departments, and make 
the Advocate more and more a 
pastoral helper and home com- 
panion. Successful pastors write us 
that the paper is an efficient assist- 
ant in all local and cohnectlonal en- 
terprises. Every siich testimony is 
an additional argument in favor of 
increased circulation. What benefits 
the few ought (o bless the many. 
With an Advocate in every Meth- 
odist family au upward movement 
would 1 be, given to the church, the 
results of which eternity alone can 
compute. 

DuringtliUOentenary year special 
attention will he given to the pecu- 
liar doetrlnes that have character- 
ized our Methodism and the record 
of God’s signal mercies to us as a 
church for the past hundred years. 
Scraps of local history will be pub- 
lished, indicating the measure and 
character of growth in different com- 
munities. And here we would sug- 
gest the appointment of u local Cen- 
tenary Committee in each pastorate,' 
who shall he specially charged with 
this work. At tlie Centenary mass- 
meeting in May or October this his- 
tory might be read, and then care- 
fully preserved for some future his- 
torian. 

We invite correspondence, hut ask 
thgt due attention be had to the 
virtueof condensation. Short articles 
command readers, while long ones 
are passed over wKh a single glance 
at the head-line and subscription. 
Occasionally a brother writes that he 
Is aware his communication exceeds 
proper limits, but he could not ab- 
Ineylatet, without affecting the 
strength or continuity of his argu- 
ment. Iu nearly all hucIi cases the 
argument is never read. A reputa- 
tion for prolixity is fatal to -a news- 
paper correspondent. A very esteem- 
ed 1 friend and brother minister told 
us he had never preached but one 
long sermon in his life, hut unfortu- 
nately that was his first, knd it gave 
him a reputation for pulpit endur- 
ance. Verbum sap. ■ 

Short communications, if accept- 
able, can always be utilized. But 
longer ones, however worthy, have 
to be reserved or consigned to the 
waste-basket. We do not promise 
t h e' publication of everything sent. 
Our best judgment must decide its 
adaptability to the wants of our read- 
ers. The non-appearance of an article 
is no impeachment of its worthiness. 
It might be very acceptable to an- 
other character of paper or to the 
"Advooatk at another time. Home- 
limes a little offense is unavoidable 
TStttipg coaunuaisatioR, but net 


unfrequently a writer has cause to 
thank au editor for such decision. 
Bfit we wgnt the brethren to' write, 
aud keep our columns sparkling 
with good news from the churches. 

' We commence the year 1884 under 
more favorable auspices tha.tr when 
, we balled the first morning of 1883. 
Wo bade .farewell to the old year 
with some feelings of gratulation. 
It was with tlie safer rejoicing of 
him who takes q(T the harness after 
successful conflict. The Advocate 
now gops into twenty-five hundred 
more homes, than a year ago. We 
have appreciative readers hot only, in 
every Southern. State and in every 
State where Southern Methodism 
has been planted, but in twelve 
Northern States, besides the follow- 
ing foreign countries; Flngland, Ire- 
land, Scotland, Turkey, China, 
Central America and Mexico. This; 
Is a large constituency. May it be 
more than doubled before we go up 
to Baltimore lo celebrate the Cen- 
tenary of 'the old Christmas Confer- 
ence, that determined tjie organic 
life of American Methodism, With 
many tbankB for the favoTs of the 
past, from God and the church, we 
look out upou tlie-laborftanil reapon- 
sibilities of a new year. 

Report of Trustees of Centenary College, 
of Louisiana. 

To the president and members of^ 
the Louisiana Annual Conference, 
the trustees of Centeuary College, of 
Louisiana, would respectfully re- 
port : 

That during tlie past year this in- 
stitution lias hail as good attendance 
upon the regular college course as at 
auy time since the war,. Thai large 
numbers of Htudenta have from the 
beginning of this college attended its 
halls wlio, though tliey have but 
partfiilly completed the regular 
course, yet have received a good 
education. V _ : • 

The faculty lias been strengthened 
by the election of l'rof. Harrison to 
the clmir of mathematics. The at- 
tendance was large at the last eom- 
lUAljcehieut, and the speeches and 
scholarship of the graduates were as 
creditable to the college as those of 
any previous class. 

The west whig of the college lias 
b.een repaired throughout one story, 
and other repairs are still going on. 
The facilities offered by the institu- 
tion to young m eh who desire an 
education are unusually good. The 
trustees believe that the cost of tui- 
tion, hoard, washing, room relit, fuel 
and lights is less. than at any other 
(lotlcge in the Southern States. Tliey 
have had occasion to compare this 
cost with oilier colleges of tlie Meth- 
odist Episcopal ClTUVcli, Sputh, ail'd 
believe that the year’s entire.' ex- 
penses are nowhere put at so low a 
figure, say $175 for everything. This 
lias been secured by the devotion of 
the faculty' to their work at scarcely 
■ living rates, in the hopes that by-' 
and-by a more remunerative attend- 
ance upon their instruction would 
set in from both - Mississippi and 
Louisiana. ~ 

The board believes that Centenary 
College is doing a good work for 
Methodism iu the Southwest, and 
has been lurgely useful in preserving 
the labors of men who have gone to 
their reward by maintaining the 
reputation of the church as a teacher 
of youth. The college remains as a 
monument of tlie Centenary 1, sub- 
scriptions and public spirit evoked 
from the Methodism of 1839, in be- 
half of higher" education. It ljolds 
iu its walls and history the memory 
of McGeheC, WinaUs, Lane, Bur- 
rows, and a host of noble spirits who 
labored.to establish it and give it to 
the church, ub au expression of their 
gratitude to God, for the rise uud 
work of WeHleyau Methodism. 
While many.moniiments have crum- 
bled aud yielded up their charge; 
this, tliauks be to God, abides. After 
the war it survived to find that its 
enJCwiment had . vanished ; ' but 
friends were, again raised up who 
started it upon a new career of use- 
fulness. Mr. Edward J. Gay, Mr. 
William It. Stuart, Mr. May, of 
Richardson & May, Dr. B. H. Moss, 
by lestament, were those who con- 
tributed ,the largest sums. Many 
others gave of their -poverty. The 
buildings, were repaired aud the 
halls opened. Since then numbers 
of young men have received an edu- 
cation who but for Centenary would 
have failed to receive one. 

The trustees are grateful for the 
educational collection ordered by 
both the patronizing Conferences, 
and believe this to he a valuable sup- 
plement if the preachers will bring 
it faithfully before their congrega- 
tions. 

It .is to be. hoped that the two Con- 
ferences and the Methodists of Mis- 
sissippi and Louisiana will in this 
coming Centenary year hcknowledge 
the claims of this venerable institu- 
tion upon tlie church, and give to it 
jo mean share of the off erings which 
may be made In gratitude to God for 
our common Methodism. It is ask- 
iug nob too much that it receive at 


(MUUWf 17, 1M4. 


least fifty thousand dollars from this 
source? In conclusion the board 
prays that the H$>IJr Spirit rtiay move 
the Louisiana Conference to devise 
liberal things for her first-born insti- 
tution of learning, if it be not the 
very oldest of ail tlie colleges iu- the 
Southern. connection. 

Very respectfully,

I bad tlie pleasure on the sixth in- 
stant of listening to a liistorical and 
highly instructive centennial dis- 
course by the Rev. Thomas C. Wier, 
presiding eldei; of the Columbus dis- 
trict, ’.North Mississippi Conference, 
iu the Methodist Church in this 
| place. His text was: "Behold how 
great a matter a little lire kindleth.” 
-James Hi, 6, Without ftny refer - 
euce to the connection of the text , 1 
he commenced by stating that the 
Unit Sunday in January, 1S84, had 
teen designated by the Central Cen- 
tenary ^Committee as the time for 
preaching a centennial sermon, lie 
then briefly referred to the centen- 
| uial of the organization of Methodist 
societies in England in 173fi,^<7f-Un? 
centennial of the’ first Methodist 
preaching in .America in 1770, and 
then of the present centennial year, 
commemorative of. the organization 
of the Methodist Episcopal Church 
iu Baltimore In I7&4, by Dr. Coke 
and Bishop Asbury, and that the 
wise plgu adopted of a general epis- 
copal oversiglit of the whole church, 
thatof presiding elders over districts, 
an itinerating ministry, and Quar- 
terly Conferences and Annual Con- 
ferences, all combined and working 
harmoniously, constituted the great 
factor iu the hand of God iu giving 
“uch unparalleled success to the 
Methddist Church, lie also spoke of 
the doctrines 4 of .the Methodist 
Church tiH being nothing new or 
fanutiyal, hut in accordance with the 
Plain teaching of the Holy Scrip- 
turea. His statistical account of- the 
Methodist 'Church Jn the United 
blates, Canada, England and other 
countries was edifylug' and, even 
Mtouishjug to those not informed on 
that subject. Ills remarks on tlie 
doctrines of the Methodist Church 
wan listened to with deep interest. 
•Us closing remarks were on what 
was hoped for, aud confidently ex- 
pected to he accomplished this cen- 
tennial year, tlie most important~Bf 
whicii was a general revival of re- 
'IIkUiii, pure ahtl uudeflied. During 
his remarks he referred to how tlie 
term Methodist originated, not , be- 
cause Wesley acted- In all he did 
facthodically, or that method iu all 
tliiugs is a pari of religion, hut as a 
term of reproach. Tills refhark set 
your correspondent to thinking of 
tlie many reproachful epithets ap- 
plied to Christ while on earth, still 
Christianity lives. Many reproach- 
ful epithets were applied to Wesley 
■tud his followers, still Methodism 
lives; and now, from that little tire 
“hulled into a flame in 1730, by the 
I ttLu rP,»! John. Wesley, the church

. Iu a letter to tlie St. Louis Chris- 
tian Advocate. the Rev. M. B. Chap- 
man, of the Missouri Conference; 
thus refers Jo His recent short visit to 
New Orleans. He is in error about 
the representatives from Alabama 
being present at the meeting of our’j 
l’ublishing Committee. From its 
birth to a few years ago tlie Alabama 
was onq of our patronizing Confer- 
ences, but lias now transferred her 
olllclal affection to another excellent 
organ bearing her own name and 
published at Birmingham. Bro. 
Chapman says: , 

My stay in New Orleans was neces- 
sarily brief, hut I took time to call at 
the Advocatk office’. There I found 
tlie Publishing Committee, consist? 
ing of representatives from the 
Louisiana, Mississippi-,— North Mis-

ganization iu this Oit.v, which a

The teadersof the Advocate have 
already "been informed of the Calam- 
ity that bus befallen ‘Dr. C. G. An- 
drews, Viz : tlie loss by tire of all bis 
household goods, including tlie. cloth- 
ing of himself and family, and also 
liis library. Concerning this last 
item iu the sad chapter, r desire to 
say a word. 

To a minister hooks are indispens- 
able ; they are the tools of ills trade. 
This fact is not so generally appre- 
ciated as it should tie; al least not iu 
Methodist circles. Stewards, in Ax- 
ing flie salary of the preacher, do not 
usually, as they should invariably 
do, include an estimate for the pur- 
chase of books. Hence, ordinarily, 
" tlie wherewith ” to procure hooks 
is obtained by tho practice of rigid 
self-denial on tlie part of the inmates 
Qf tlie parsonage. The minister’s 
wife aud children do without many 
tilings which they need am} ought to 
have, and the whole faintly live ab- 
stemiously, in order that a few 
needed hooks may be added to the 
library. Hence the loss of his library 
Is to the minister a most serloipr 
all’alr. How is that loss to he' re- 
paired? Out of present salajy? 
Alas! that salary ’provjdCs for a i 
inn only ; It contains no estimate for

1 imahle value to many who limy see

physicinn anff he ndvisotl me to try 
little’ chemical food, or a bottle of hypo- 
pbospliHit-H. I took two or three bottles 
of the chemical, food with no apparent 
benefit. My lassitlide aud indisposition 
seemed to increase, my food distressed 
me. I hu tiered from neuralgic pains in 
different parts of mv v7 body, my muscles 
bbeame sore, niy bowels were consti- 
pated, apt} my prospects for recovery 
'wore not very Haltering. I stated mv 
case to another physician, ail(L he ad- 
vised me to* take tivo to ten drops of 
Magende’s solution of morphine, tvyo 


are as far removed as possit>le from I or three times a day, for the weaktioss

^'SoM KtlllNu To A\ l oin.— Avoid the 
scolding tone. A tired mother- may 
find it hard to do this; but it| is she 
•wlio will get most good by observing 
the -rule. The tone of scolding wears 
upon the throat, just where the woman, 
who i* not over strong is apt to feel the 
ache of extreme fatigue. The children, 
too,* who are great imitators, will be 
snre to catch the scolding tone, ami will 
talk to their dolls, to one another, and 
by-and-by to. their own* children, very 
jiitich as their mothers are now talking 
to them. .Jly all means. avoid this bad 
atone, allyou who govern others.* " 

Tiie^EIot Wajeh Hkmkpv.— A t the 
present ‘-moment the fashionable cure 
for dyspepsia is hot water, which, aHer 
all, is only an old fashion rex ived. 
London News commenting upon this, 
says that the hot water treatment is 
taketr externally- in London tvs a-coa* 
rnetic aud internally in America for the 
stomach.. «.nd that as ‘aiding propaganda 
.•sin jvogreas. • 


Ai’l’LK Slvm r. — One quart Hour silted 
with oue mess'll fe each of acid and soda 
. or two heaping teaspoon t\j Is acid ami 
one moderately heaping teaspoonful 
soda i of Horsford’s -Bread* Preparation ; 
shorten with one teaspoohful , butter 
rubbed into the tiour. Mix with cold j 
milk or water, the same as for biscuit. , 
Ef ut two (juarts of paro<l, sliced orq.uar- .

•thick, cut into quarters and* with it. 
oover the apples in the dish j then 
cover the whole with a close- lifting 
cover, and . boil or steam jtill done. 
Taka out on a platter and grate nutmeg

or sugar and cream. 


and distress in my stomach, and a blue 
pill every other night to relieve tlie 
constipation. The morphine produced 
such a deathly nauHea that 1 could not 
take it* and the..blue pill tailed to relieve 
mv constipation. 

In this, condition I passed nearly a 
year, \v holly unfit for business, while 
the effort to think was irksome and 
painful. Mv blood became impover- 
ished, and 1 suffered from incapacity 
with au appalling sense of misery and 
general apprehension of coming evil'. 

I passed sleopl(Jy» nights and was 
troubled with irregular action of the 
heart, a constantly fovorish condition 
and the most excruciating tortures in 
1113’* stomach, living for days on rice 
water and gruel, ami, indeed, the diges- 
tive futicUons seemed to beentirely de- 
stroyed. ^ t . 

It was natural that'whiln in this con- 
dition I should become hypochondrical 
and fearful suggestions of selt-destruc- 
tion occasionally 'presented theniHelves. 

I experienced an insatiable desire for 
sleep, "but on retiring would lie awake 
for a long time tormented with troubled 
reflections, and when at last I dkl lall 
iiLLo an uneasy slumber of short dura- 
tion, it was disturbed by horrid dreams 
In this' condition 1 determined to t>ak< 
a trip to Europe, but in spite of all the 
attentions of physicians and change of 
Jif’.ene and climate, I did not improve 
anti so returned home with uo oarthly 
hope of ever again boing able tt) leave 
the house. . 

Among the numerous friends that 
called on me was out' who had been 
afflicted somewhat similarly to myself, 
but who had been restored to perfoct 
health. Upon his earnest recommen- 
dation I began the same treatment he 
had etnploved, but with little hope of 
being benefited. At first 1 experienced 
little, if any relief, except that it did 
not distress my stomach as other reme- 
dies or o\ ; en-Yood had done. 1 contin- 
ued its use, however, and after tho third 
bottle could see a marked change for 
tho better, and now after the fifteenth 
bottle 1 am happy to state that I am 
again able to attend to my prol<*ssional 
duties. 1 sleep well, nothing distresses 
me that V oat, t go from day do day 
without, a feeling of weariness or pain, 
indeed J am a well man, and* wholly 
I through tlie influence of II. H. Warner

Hebv0 


Dblicioi'k Sour. — Iioil a ainsll cup ol 
riee in a little oi*er a nuart of milk. 
Boll until it is so anft tlmt it will pass 
through a hieve with hut little elVort on 
your part. •Grate tlie nicely bleached 
parts of the heads of celery, and add to 
the strained rice ; add to'this one (juart 
of strong beef stock,- or-that made from 
inutton.^or veal may be used ; it should 
be strained, and be dear anil iree from 
lumps when it is put in' with the ricS. 
Let this boil until the celery ia tender. 

< Seasbu with a dash of cayenne pepper, 1 
or a little curry powder, arid plenty of | 
salt. If it is dlmt!Ult_to obtain celery i 
when you wish to have this soup, celery 
salt may be used, or even celery Heed 
or extract. • 

Mutton Broth.— A superior mutton 1 
broth may he made by attending to the \ 
following directions : —To four quarts 
of water put ope pound of pdarl barley ; 
and a tablespoonfiil of salt yii a close- 
fitting pan ; boil this for two hours 
quickly; it will, then lie of /the consis- 
tency of thick cream ('then /add vegeta- 
bles, namely, dided carrdts, turnips, 
onions, celery, white cabbage sliredu ; 
boil until tender, then add the mutton 
stock (this can he made from mutton 
and veal bones, i well strained and 
skimmed of the fat. This is an excel- 
lent soup for invalids arid children. 


Graham Custard Pik':— Funny and 
good. One quart of milk, two eggs, 
half a cu p of sugar, half a cup of Graham 
dour. Beat the eggs and stir all lo- 

f ether. The Graham flour sinks to the 
ottom of the pie disli as the custard j 
bakes aud forms a good crust. It may 
appear to he soaked, as custard pie- 
c rust often is, hut it is not in the least 
“clammy.” It dissolves '‘easily in the 
mouth and is entirely digestible. A 
pleasant cream, pie is made from the 
same recipe, leaving old the eggs aud 
using creamy milk or thin-cream. 

Fon vhk Fowls.— L ay in a lot. of 
road dust. When we say road dust we 
do not mean roekH and clam shells. 
Keep it perfectly dry.' Put it aside 
for winter use. Have two or three 
’ cheies boxes whloh dll . dual. 

Pat these boxes where the sun cau 
warm the dust. The hens will get 
down in the dust. aud kill the insects 
■ on them. 


I remedy as taking the highest possible 
rank in the treatment of all diseases 
marked by debility, loss of appetite, 
and all other symptoms of stomach 
and digestive disorders. It is over- 
whelmingly superior to the tonics, bit- 
ters, and dyspepsia cures of the day; 
and Is certain to he so acknowledged 
by the public universally. Thousands 
of people to-day are going to-premature 
graves with those serious (llsijases, that 
I have above described, and to all such 
I would say; “ IOo not lot your good 
judgment bo governed by your preju- 
dices, but give the above named remedy 
a fair and patient trial, and I believe 
I you will not only be rowarded by a 
I perfect restoration to health, but yen 
I will also be convinced that the medical 
profession does not possess all the 

i knowledge there is embraced In meqi- 
I cal science.''

It Is this lant that fimilsbeslthe key 
for the preparation for Journalism. 
Rhetorical- studies are important, 
mental and moral philosophy, lan- 
guage and the art ol .composition. 
Peivinanship must be mastered, legi- 
bility and speed rather then graco 
being cultivated. A knowledge of gen- 
eral history, and of the history and 
political institutions of' our own coun- 
try, is - very important. Familiarity 
with, the principles of business, „with 
the terrtiH used in the different profes- 
sions, with „tbq leading names of tho 
present and past generations ; facility 
in the use of cyclopedias, histories, dic- 
i tionsries, books of statistics, and s 
thorough acquaintance, with tho United 
States census, are all of the greatest 
value. Tlie memory must bo trained ;

tha long anthoms that choirs will sing ; 
■the long hymns the people willaing in 
prayer-meeting, ‘ami the slngCng, wirli- 
out lntsrludeB, of. very long lymns in 
llio f lernian congregatipna, the Jewish 
lyimgogues, ami of hymna of ordinary 
length in the Kplsoopal Churolies. 

'All that some moribund churches, 
witlLsIde ministers need, to transform 
ihem, is that tlio people should sing. 
They prsy for the Holy Spirit when 
they violato the instructions given by 
iheSpirfl with regard id the worship 
of. God-: “Speaking to' yourselves in 
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 
singing and ’making melody in your 
heart to the hord." ■■While i -ie l’rotes- 
lant Churches that use lltuigieal forms 
generally liav e congregational singing 
—as llie Lutherans and litany ot the 
Kpiagnpaliana-.it is specially necessary 
for tliose who have no liturgy; for 
unless they sing the people have no 
piri-tn the service. A criti of Meth- 
odism says : “When Methodism arose 
tlio converts were very demonstrative; 
they shouted and sang gs no other 
Christiana did or could. Now they 
have quit shouting and .hire their Hing- 
ing, like the most formal of tlume from 
shorn they came out.” "This witness 
n true" of Home churches. 

Which iH bolter, pretended congrega- 
tional singing, where only 8 few sing 
anil that feebly, or good choir singing? 
Which is better, tlio limping of a crip- 
ple, or well men, tied hand aifd foot,, 
•riding in a lino carriage, with liveried 
voachmah and footman? tfueslions 
-comparing tlio best of its kind with tlio 
wort)t of another kind sited no- light 
upon the relative valtio of ‘different’ 
species -at their average, or at their 
host. Average congregational singing 
promotes the interest of the church 
much more than average- -choir singing;

Boston, Jau. 18.— The City of Colum- 
bus left Boston at :l o’clock Thursday 
afternoonfor Savannah, carry ing eighty 
passengers and ft crew of forty-five. 
At 3:45 A. M. Friday at Gay Head light, 
bearing south -half -east, the vessel 
struck on the outside of DftviJ’s Bridge 
buoy. The wind was blowing a gale 
wesl-by-nortb. The vessel immediate- 
ly filled and keeled over, the. water 
breaking in and flooding the port side 
of the saloon. All tlie passengers, ex- 
cept a few women and children, came 
on deck, nearly all wearing life pre- 
servers. All the boats were cleared 
away, but were immediately swamped. 
The majority of the passengers were 
washed overboard. Seven passengers 
left. the vessel on a life-ralt, aud about 
.. forty more took- to the riggiug. At 
10:30 A. M. Gay-Head life-boat put oil' 
and took seven persons. Another life- 
boat put off between 12 and I, and the 
revenuecutter Dexter came along about 
li}:30 and sent off two boats. Twenty- 
oue persons, one of whom was dead, 
were placed aboard tlie Dexter, and 
after ail the persons wore taken from 
the vessel tho Dexter proceeded. Threq

the duties of learned mem, which 
are to attend to their studies, in 
farmers employ their. time in playing i

I Americans; St. Martin's about the 
i same number, of which one-fourth" is

r At'L's SKCOMl MISSION IRY Jol ltNEV. 

We now return to the history of the 
church in the Acts'. After the decision 
of the conference at Jerusalem ^dele- 
gation from tho mother church was 
sent with Paul anil Barnabas to visit- 
the church at Antioch. They took with 
them a fraternal. letter, reporting the 
decision of the conference, that the 
tientiles need not’ become- Jews in 
order to be saved. Till* news. was re- 
ceived' by the (./entile, converts with 
great joy. The hateful restriction 
withdrawn, »any of the hesitating en- 
tered at oiico the Christian church. It 
is a wise thing to do away with condi- 
tions which kee > out many who wogld 
strengthen the church by their pres- 
ence, snd just as wise, to keep fast, on 
their hinges with bolts all closed, every 
door through which may outer those 
whoso presence only weaken and 
paralize the church of God, Hut this 
doing away with that relic of Judaism 
lightened up the Gentiles like a decla- 
ration of independence. 

Paul, for the few days, that ho re- 
mained- in Antioch— there were too 
many preachers thereabouts for him to 
stay in that city litany days— used hiB 
time in reading, in clear tone, the au- 
thoritative document from Jernsalemj 
supplementing it by oral teaching, uq- 
tll he had well impressed the substance 
of that remarkable decree Upon every 
Jew and Gentile in that city. This 
done, and feeling that the freedom of 
the Gentiles had been tlxed upon a 
firm foundation, and that Judaizing 
bigotry had received a thrust from 
wbtctr 4 t-wotrld-nol soon recover, the 
old yearnjng of life, to work among the 
Gentiles afar oil', laid hold on him. lie 
speaks of this project, bo near his heart, 
in very modest terms. At this center 
of pttractien, where preachers wero 
grouping and inquiring Gentiles were 
coming for light, lie was almost afraid 
to speak out all that was on his mind, 

■ for fear that it would not’Hie popular. 
As if not expecting to do much, he 
breaks the project gently to good Bro 
Barnabas : "There are plenty of 
preachers bore to do the work at An- 
tioch; let us go again and visit our 
brethren in every city where we have 
preached the word, and see how .they 
do." Barnabas consented at once, and 
invited Mark to go with them. Mark, 
it Beerned, consented, even though he 
has proved a poor missionary on a for- 
mer occasion ; but this was only to bo 
a tour around to all the churches ; ho 
new ground to be cultivated. But 
Paul would not consent to Mark going 
with thorn, lie called up his former 
desertion, when he had left him 
Pamphylia. Paul's objecthms were not 
to be overruled, nor would Barnabas 
consent to go without Mark. Paul 1 
persistent rejection of Barnabas’ kins 
man gives us a clue to what .waB 
Paul'B mind. If the trip was only to be 
u home missionary -tour, a visit to the 
churches, why .not take MaTkT But 
this visit to the churches was but .the 
preface' of Paul's real journey. He was 
seeing more -ami more clearly every 
day that his' call was to go far and Wide 
and that it vkouKI require a aourage 
and earnestness such as he did not-tlnd 
in Mark. Paul was right ; and Mark 
learned a lesson that helped him in. 
after years. There was fiu alternative 
but for them to part. This contention 
grew out of very natpral oaUHeH, Paul 
earnestness of purpose and the bias 
kinship on the part of Barnabas. 


th'raeia, amUhe next (lay to N'eopolis, 
and from thence to Phillipi, the .chief 
city of Macedonia.' The Wraigiit course 
liotokened a latr wind. Their Guile 
assumed IiIh chariot. Tills Spirit of the 
new birth, who blowetii where he lisl- 
eth, tilled ;the sails niul drove, with 
unwonted spend',' the vessel til-rough 
'contending wave and current, This 
visional Macedonian's cry, if not a con- 
scious desire for tho gospel, was at least 
expressive of the deep need-of tho gos- 
pel and Of Unconscious preparedness to 
receivo.it, not only of that region, bpt 
also of the whole western empire, 
which AfacedonTa might be said to rep- 
resent. -Paul interpreted that cry as a 
confession that the highest splendor of 
heathendom,, in the arts of Greece and 
in the polity and pow'er of Rome, had 
arrived at tho end of ull its resources. 
God had loft tho Gentiles to walk-in 
their own wayH. They bait sought to 
gain salvation for themselves, but those 
who had carried it farthest along tho 
paths of natural development now fe,el 
that ull had been .indeed but vanity. 
This result had been reached by the 
history of all heathendom., and Israel 
going along tho w r ay God had marked 
out for him had likewise arrived aj, hjs 
end. At last ho is in condition to real- 
ize his vocation by becoming the guide 
to lead Gentile nations unto God, the 
only Author and Creator of man’s re- 
demption, and in Paul this vocation of 
Israel is divinely realize ' and by this 
nooturnal apparition of the Macedo- 
nian crying for help. 

This voice is crying still to the 
Christian church. Oil! that the church 
may heed tho-fcry. It can bn abundant- 
ly shown from Scripture and history 
that this cry has been rightly recog- 
nized by. the churab as Interpreting the 
unuttered cry of hoathendom for help, 
and It is just bb plainly shown that it is 
death to any church or Christian either 
not to hoar this cry dr, having heard, 
not to heed. 

We can neither excuse ou-rselves 
upon- the-plea of ignoranoe not inahllrj 
ity. The demand which missions lays 
upon us is as great us. our own salva- 
tion, for it is part of It and inseparable 
from it.

In the Nashville Advocate, of Sep- 
tember 8, .18811, Guilford Jones uses the 
following language: “ In. the. provi - 

dence of God, tho people of this country 
are tlie rulers ; their votes control the 
-law-makers and thb.se who execute the 
laws ; hence they are particcps cr.iininis 
in ull the mischief which .the liquor 

trailic is doing in this land.” 

After giving tho facts and iigures con- 
cerning the liquor trailic, lie concludes 
his article'in these strong and truthful 
words: " Now, before tiie bar of public 
opinion, and before tho Judge of all tho 
earth, we charge that the freemen of 
this country are responsible for all this 
waste and terrible tide oi woe. . they 
have tho power to throttle this great 
‘ blood-gorged dragon’ and destroy

this dark and terrible criminility : and 
if tho court of publii opinion fails *to 
abato Ll*i eyil, Hie guilty must fade the 
charge in the, light of the judgment

Your committee are convinced that 
in order ' to the death of tlie liquor 
power the temperance people, male and

RBPOflT ON TEMPERANCE. 

Your Committee on Temperance beg 
leave to submit thq. following as their 
report ; 

That the licensed liquor trailic is the 
most gigantic aud atllictive evil of the 
world aud age no observant or 
thoughtful person will deny. In the 
faceof the ruin in body anil soul, for time 
aud eternity, of the million of drunk- 
ards every yen/c manufactured' by it in 
these United States aud of its other 
millions of wretched victims in all 
lands ; in the face of the broken hearts, 
blasted hopes, grinding poverty and 
immeasurable anguish of the innooenl 
millions of women and children made 
to sulTer because the government must 
have tho blood money, 'euphoniously 
called revenue, that comes from grunt- 
ing license to liquor dealers ; iu the lace 
of the fact that Hire, e-fourths of tho 
crimes committed anil of the costs of 
criminal procedure are directly charge-' 
able to the drink system ; in tlie face of 
the fact that the good people of this or 
of any land have it in their powor to 
rise iu their might and down the mon- 
Bter,; iu the facoaf'all these indisputable 
facts it is, the wonder of wonderp that 
the liquor power is found ruling iii 
fl&tioiial, State aud municipal govern- 
ments and s'weeping away the harriers 
of public virtue and private rights. 
The granting of llceusp forj.be manu- 
facture and sale as a beverage of Intoxi- 
cating liquors is in ilsetf a crime.. 

Rev. Dr. J. W. Hapmon,' of the Mis- 
sissippi Conference, says : " The exer- 
cise of all rightful authority under or- 
ganized forms of society, covered by the 
a-gis of constitutional law, and common 
law, must, ql necessity, be so exercised 
as to protect the public weal and insure 
the moral, the physical and the relig- 
ious safety of her citizens. The funda- 
mental maxiuiB of all sound law declare 
that po person or persons shall be per- 
mitted to uso their property to the 
damage of society or persons in the 
State. How then did Stale Legislatures 
obtain the authority lo turn loose upon 
the world such ail pvll principle’ as the 
liquor license system, contraven'lug the 
very spirit and Intent of all sound con- 
ilButional law, aud subvorBlve of good 
government? This gigantic wrong 
perpetrated against ull tlie interests of 


of a respectable numDBr of clil/uus, to 
grant an election in each ward of tho 
parish. There should be promptly or- 
ganized ' in each town, village and 
neighborhood a woman’s Christian 
temperance union, and, thus bapdiiig 
together in one the Christian teinper- 
ance element of all the churcheH, there 
Will Boon be In active operation through- 
out this State a moral power that call

be fought in detail : a ward at a time 
Snatched from his grasp, then a county 
or a parish, aud then a State, aud an 
other and another until our broad, fair 
land shall b'o saved from the curse, 
The church of Christ,, helped ,by tho 
respectable and moral people who. are 
not church members, can do away with 
this evil, but not without thorougli or- 
ganization and the unconquerable spirit 
that can stand defeat to-day tb win to- 
morrow's battle. The ballot, wielded 
not on the line of a political party, but 
iu obedience to Christianity aud the 
demands of highest citizenship, can 
bring rolief in the near future. In 
Gqd’s fear, and for love of man, let us 


urday and Sunday, and necessitating 
week day lyjpolnttnents for those Im- 
portant official gatherings. The only 
reason I-hnvobenrd for this is. that tho 
dlstrietwHro tlnanclajljk inadequate to 
tlie support of tho presiding oldor. It 
certainly ciin not bo that tho presiding 
elder is enabled to give more direct 
porsonal attention to tho work. For 
the fact Is 1 that when the districts in- 
cluded in tho same territory, but fbwoV 
charges, tlie presiding elders gave 
more time to ouch? and was about as 
well, if not bettor, sustained. There 
can bo n& doubt if tho presiding elder 
could have time from the pressing 
business engngemonts that this multi- 
plication of charges imposes, to go 
through the circuits, preach and visit 
among the people, that moro good 
would be accomplished. His presence 
would bo felt, and he would have op- 
pojrtunit^Ho>(fiugnN> llis olllce, while 

the churches would recognize tnore 
readily the obligation to sustain him. 

irms rtllo nf addition -by-iRylaiou- 
works well in the circuits why should 
it not work Well on the districts T A 
few examples will suffice to show how 
tho rule works on circuits. 'I have 
traveled perhaps more extensively 
within the bound's of the Mississippi 
Conference than any othor membor 
now upon the eil'oetive list. In 1811 1 
traveled a circuit ‘JJO milos -around, 
preached every day iu the weolt but 
Monday, aud received {$10 for the sup- 
port of wife, child and myself. Now, 
within the satlie territory, with slight 
addition, there are three or four preach- 
ers omployod, and any one of the 
charges pays more to the support of 
tho presiding elder and pastor than the ' 1 
whole paid then, anil the spiritual de- 
velopment is wonderful.' In 1810 I 
travoled a cjrcuit which embraced 
parts of Claiborne, CQpiali and Hinds 
counties. Now there are, and have been 

v 

for several years, some live or six 
different pastoral, charges created out 
of the same territory, parsonages pro- 
vided in most of them, and any one of 
theiii gives as liberal support to tlie 
preacher as the whole gave mo. My 
appointment this year is a fraction of 
tlie circuit I traveled in 1842. My old 
circuit has one station in tho midst of 
it now, quo half station (two churches,) 
anil altogothor three or live pastoral 
barges that wore embraced, ip whole 
or in part, in Rankin circuit in 1842. 
There are better churches, better pro- 
ision made for tlie support of tlie 
preachers, and, as'a rule, our member- 
ship-are hotter informed as to the doc- 
trines and usages of the church. I was 
allowed only 8260 for -my support in 
1812. .Now there is not one of tho live. | 
dilferent charges but would Beorn to bo 
so niggardly in their allowance to their 
preacher. Now, tho secret of tills pros- 
perity is that a faithful pastor has moro 
frequent access to his people, better 
opportunity to indoctrinate them. 

If it bo true that for a time some 
members may have had to pay a little 
moro than they have been accustomed, 
others are, being educated up to the 
standard of duty, aud are now helping 
liberally. The more any one pays to 
the various institutions of the church 
insurers they-wtll-bo^ Interested inHior 
prosperity. As a rule, it is the man or 
woman who pays little Or nothing that 
complains most. 

In reference to the presiding elders’ 
districts, in looking over the minutes, 
I can not see that tho multiplicity of 
appointments has added materially to 
their support? anil 1 am sure the office 
is no more esteemed nor its moral 
force more apparent than when there 
was a reasonable 'number .of appoint- 
ments and the presiding elder was 
more with the people. H. J. li.

Standing over the. bier of the dead 
year, 18S3, a solfeiun hush of sadness 
falls on broken harp and song, while 
wierd phantoms Hit through .tho im- 
agination. As tho night of the death of 
years and centuries deepen we entsr 
upon the silent juncture of eras, and 
the overlapping of dispensations, when 
the morning will soon dawn upon the 
strange eventB, both physical, profane 
and divine, that will mark the history 
of. the new year, and tie development 
of olden prophecies, Tlie dead year, 
which has been so” full of seerst sins 
anil open shame, so full of life and 
death, of spiritual joys and worldly 
sorrows, has closed up and sealed its 
pages, uiitil the hand of God shall 
break every seal and reveal its mighty 
wenders for judgment. 

And now that the clasp of destiny is 
upon tlie past, let tlie sparkling wine 
cup stand oil the social board untouch- 
ed and unquall'ed, while love and grief, 
bope and leiir, penitence and faith bend 
low in uttered prayer over the departed 
year, for the, rich anil poor, ,the learned 
and iinloarned, the good and the bad 
have all alike had the joyous or terrible 
lessous of tho year 1883 chiseled upon 
body and brain and graven on mind 
aud heart, which they will bear with 
them to their graves. The light-hearted 
revellers of the hall-room, the frolic- 
some sons and giddy daughters of 
pleasure and fashloii have turned aside 
from the banqueting halls of mirth aud 
song and dance, to mourn and weep, 
witli throbbing hearts, as they never 
wspt before. 

Fer out on lery wing and unheruld- 
ed tho swift-winged destroyer hurled 
his shattered wrecks of hlTtnun habita- 
tions and human lives und happiness 
all along liis tortuous pathway of

K KNNARD— Fell asleep in Josus, at 
midnight, Dec.ombor 14, 1883, after a 
short illness, of acute tuberculosis, 
Hattie Tii.ohman Kbnnard, daugh- 
ter of J. I., and A. it. Keinmril, of l’ort 
Gibson, Miss. 

Thus liuH entered into rest one who 
from childhood hail made her peaeewitli 
God. Though stricken down in the 
bright sunlight of her youthful days, 
though called before the evil days hud 
come, ileuth found her— not as a con- 
[ueror, for ills sting was removed— as 
one who iiail “ fought tiie fight, kept 
the faith,” and was ready to eiiter the 
Christian’s rest. To herself and her 
family tlie summons was unexpected; 
to the latter it came like a mighty 
thunder clap from u clear sky. When 
site realized her disoase would prove 
fatal she talkod of dying, und expressed 
a perfect trust in hor God. She had no 
fear of death, aud witli the utmost com- 
posure spoke of “going home," "si- 
most home,” " nearly there,” as one 
who had arranged to return to un earth- 
ly Inline and sent messages to her 
friends. At times her sulferlng was 
severe, hut She murmured not ; patient- 
ly she awaited the messenger, and 
slowly, calmly Hbe sunk to rest “us oiie 
that wraps the drapery of his couch 
about li i in and lies down to pleasant 
dreams." 

Hhe was always reserved— by 
meHiis a duuioiiHtrutive Christine; yet 
her face was ever Hot Zionward, and her 
feeling was such as’ that described by 
the poet when he said : “ Feeling is 
deep aud still ; and the word that Moats 
on the surface is as the tossing buoy,, 
that betrays where the anchor 
'hidden. I’ 

Young in years, lovely in life, beauti- 
ful in death, Hattie, thou art now 
roaming ip the sweet fields of EJi,« to 
be !• forever with the Lord." Glorious 
thought ! O blest ubode ! Thy earthly 
home is saddened by thy transfer to 
lieayeu ; but the loas of thy loved dnes

is so much difficulty of theory and

respect to what is wisest in this matter 
it can lie taught in such words as these: 
“The best wav to get a. boy to go to

Some Aspects of the 

r.Y REV. .1. H. WALKER, H. D. 

• It no doubt retires more' versatil- 
ity, stadiousuess and adaptability 
tlmn the ordinary pastor lias, to tie 
acceptable amF weful in the same 
church for a considerable term of 


them to church. We must notice and 
call attention to the good points of our 
pastor. We must all be constantly 
at church, and thus endorse and en- 
courage our pastor's efforts, " No!. 
But this: “We must iiave a new 
preacher; some man whose sensa- 
tional manner will draw hearers, or 
some man of strong health and active 
habits who will visit much, and by 
Hue social qualities win men from 
ilieir homes to the pews of . the 
church.” *" • 

If the stewards find that they are 
failing hack- in meeting*' current ex- 
penses, they do not generally say: 

“ We must try to improve, our finan- 
cial plans. We must make greater 
etiorts to educate our people to more 
liberality and promptness. We must 
give more prompt and earnest per- 
sonal attention to the great interest 
committed to .us." No! But: “We 
must have a more popular preacher— 
not only u pastor, but a financier as 
\ycll — w ho will dev.iae new and better 
methods of H nance, and may,' with 
the help of two or three active young 
men as his aids, work his plans and 
save us the time and 'care of this 
business.” 

If the church is in deht, or a new 
one needs to tie built, generally a 
“new preacher" is the solution, and 
not a proposition for greater diligence 
and liberality on the part of the 
church. 

Now, we submit, ii'e educative ten- 
dency of nil this is unfortunate, al- 
most paralyzing.' There, is not that 
development of Christian jzeal and 
activity t hut there ought to he. The 
pastors have duties personal, great 
and imperative which mhy not he 
discharged by proxies, and this is 
true of the laity, especially those w.lvo 
hold respohsible positions. No doubt 
the true idea is that pastor and his 
dock should be co-workers : neither 
expecting the other to do their work. 
Let not the laity think that the rem- 
edy for failure lies always in a “ new 
preacher,” or that any kind of a 
preacher, no matter how greatly or 
variously gifted, cun relieve them, of 
their responsibilities, “ for every man 
shall hear his own burden.” Let

L 


sacrifices and discomforts on the part 
of our ministry. It requires the con- 
stant breaking up of sociul ties— the 
formation of new friendships. , It 
renders, by its frequent removals, dif- 
ficult tlie education of children, and 
does not seem moat favorable to our 
children’s social, and business pros; 
pects. It is an expensive system— so 
many moves, eaclt one involving 
losses which must lie borne either by 
pastor or people. Some of these dis- 
counts incident to, our system could 
he reduced and modified by tlie build- 
ing of comfortable parsonages, sub- 
stantially furnishing them, and put- 
ting iu'them a lihrary of most needful 
bookw of reference, such as commenta- 
ries, general encyclopedias and bibli- 
cal encyclopedias, dictionaries, and 
the like. Another good thing for 
preachers and .people would lie tlie 
establishment of Methodist schools 
not colleges) in all our considerable 
centres of population. These needed 
improvements would greatly soften 
and render more endurable tlie itin- 
erant lot, prevent locations and secu- 
lurity and keep in tlie regular work 
men of experience and influential 
character — a consummation devoutly 
to lie desired. , . 

Tlie itinerant system lias worked 
well, lias achieved great ami exi ellent 
results, and we should do what we 
can to conserve and perpetuate tlie 
system, Tlie itinerant idea does not 
necessarily involve frequeufehauges, 
but the [lower and the willingness to 
•make these changes as often us may- 
be found needful for tlie best results. 

There are peculiar drawbacks to 
the system ugainst which ministers 
and people will do well to guard. 
Lor example, frequent changes are 
not most favorable to studlousneBS. 
Continuity and regularity of study 
are broken into. Men who expect to 
lie often changed are tempted to feel 
that constant mental growth anil 
constant study are not necessary, and 
hence are in tiaugur of making UP. in - 
tellectual advance and of continuing 
in the mediocre position, growing 
duller ami less interesting us years 
roll by, 

But I think, perhaps,' the greatest 

danger to tlie system-is the harm it 
may do tlie laity, unless it is watch- 
fully uml prayerfully guarded against. 
The natural tendency would seem to 
cultivate “itching ears" and desire 
for novelty. The system seents to 
teach too much reliance upon tlie 
preachers, and to expect to accom- 
plish all results by them rather than 
by increased efl'orta on their own 
part. We have sometimes heard it 
expressed on tills wise: If tlie Hun- 
day-sohool does not seem to prosper, 
"hut rattier languish, the officers anil 
teachers do not say, “ Our remedy is 
iucreas.ed activity out of the sohool, 


bv saying: 1 shall .pot trouble my- 

self I will he changed and tie in a 
-now.iuiff may lie better Suited, Bel li 
next-year." N 6, let'.'us rather make 


tin- best of our present field. It may 
he our last. Resolve on success, and 
you are far more apt to achieve it. 

We say oursyfjteni has these perils 
to pastors ami people, and we should 
watch and see to i.t that we do not 
fall into these temptations incident 
to the.wdrkiug of the itinerant plan.

Anniversaries at Conference. 

There is tlie time-honored anni- 
versary of the Conference Board of 
Missions, tlie anniversary of the Con- 
ference Board of Church Extension 
and tlie anniversary of tire Ministerial 
Educational Association which some- 
times gets in for a night, though not 
always, important as it is. At tlie 
late session of tlie Mississippi Confer- 
in Natchez, one night was 


house for him. Whitefleld was pre- 
paring to come tg his.help. “A. mail s 
heart devisetli liis way, hut the Lord 
directetli liis steiis," As Wesley came 
to America, so lie left it, contrary 
to all preceding resolutions. In four 
weeks from the date of the above let- 
ter, he had left Georgia forever 
Weflley’s excessive pastoral tluelity 
and his ritualistic severity made ene- 
mies, and they found occasion to 
avenge themselves in an affair con- 
nected With one of liis parishioners, 
MiesH- ~. It seems he thought of 
proposing marriage, to her ; hut Dela- 
motte warned him, and tlie Moravi-

in the afternoon of Monday, Decem- 
ber 17, lSSf>. . .. . 

What I want to say in this con- 
nection is, these anniversaries are 
getting too numerous to lie held at 
night during our Conference sessions. 
They occupy too much time that 
ought to he devoted to pr duelling. 
Preaching tlie gospel is our great 
business in tlie world, and our Con- 
ference sessions ought to he made 
occasions of spiritual power in this 
line of our work. It is due-tho people 
wtio iiave opened their doors and 
their hearts to entertain us, and it 
would he linnienseiy profitable to the 
young ministers in Bring their 
hearts for the work to which they 
have just consecrated themselves. 

But how can these anniversaries 
at night be dispensed with? It would 
he hut little trouble to otherwise pro- 
vide, flir tlie Ministerial Educational 
Association unit the Board of Church 
Extension ; hut will it do to touch 
the missionary anniversary ? Tlie 
very suggestion of such a tiling may 
make some zealous brethren raise 
their hands In holy horror. Nevel- 
tleless I make the suggestion and 
undertake to maintain that it would 
he better, all tilings cohsiderod, to 
dispense with tlie usual Saturday 
night missionary anniversary, 

The Discipline, provide^ that the 
presiding elder shall bring the sub- 
ject of missions prominently before 
tlie Quarterly Conferences of each 
circuit and station, and see to it that 
efficient anil well-deflued modes anil 
plans he adopted for raising missioh- 
ary funds. Let tUia he done in- the 
lirst place. It also provides that tlie 
Conference Board of Missions sliull 
arrange for holding anniversary

our people will lie toued. up to their 
duty in , tills matter aad tlie . assess- i 
-taenia will. become, w.hat they ought 
to be— the minimum, and not tlie 
maximum of our missionary offerings. 

Then comes “missionary day” at 
Confttence, when the various meth- 
ods of the most successful collectors 
are brought out, compared and dis- 
cussed, and a thrilling address is 
delivered by a connections! officer, if 
present- Now, whut I maintain Is 
that.this is the time, above, all others, 
for tile missionary anniversary. A 
report from the secretary and treas- 
urer of t lie Board, a collection and 
tlie election of officers for the ensuing 
year would chime i u most harmoni- 
ously with the spirit- of the hour. I 
remember witli pleasure “missionary 
day” in Crystal Springs, December, 
1882. ' After Dr. Kelley’s speech Bro.- 
Carradine suggested a thank offering, 
and $34(i was tlie prompt response. 
The tide was high and the occasion 
auspicious. Why not repeat this 
every year, and let it suffice for tjie 
annual collection at Conference? 
The churches witli which our Con- 
ferences are held, as a rule, pay up all 
their assessments, and they are at 
considerable expense in entertaining 
tlie Conference. Hence tlie money 
raised on these anniversary occasions 
comes mainly from the ministers. 
They are more likely to lie out in 
force and' to he in full sympathy with 
the occasion on " missionary day 
than on Saturday night. Then a 
missionary sermon delivered some 
night during Conference, say tlie 
night lielore “missionary day ." .from 
a tret and not followed b// a coth etion, 
would do more good to both preachers 
and people t ban missionary addresses, 
by whomsoever delivered, that every- 
body utiderstamds are desigued for 
immediate effect. As for the Saturday 
night missionary anniversaries, they 
are losing their bffieiency as means of 
raising- missionary money. I know 
that some of , our preacher? .avoid 
them, and I know that, many of tlie 
people look upon them with disfavor. 
There is significance in the following 
extract from Dr. Young's letter to the 
Nashville Advocate and the Advocate 
of Missions in regard to our late Con- 
fere \ice in “ Tin* church 

building 'must, have been planned .by 
tlie great-smiled Dr. Watkins. It is 
large and substantial every way. 
Yet, rreejit on Saturday nhjht , tlie 
people filled- nud Crowded it at every 
service.” .(Italics mine. i Why was 
it not filled anil-crowded on l-jatui'day 
n iglit? Dr. Johnson and Dr. Young 

are orators whom the people every- 
where are eager to hear. it was the 
anniversary of tlie Conference Board 
of Missions, anil it was understood 
that tlie collection would he the main 
thing that night. 

Let us relegate tins whole matter 
to ” misskjuary day,” and- on [Satur- 
day night, and on every other night 
during Conference, have a Sermon 
and a charge upon tlie enemy. Let 
'us L>o to Coijference praying for a 
fresh baptism of the Spirit upon the 
pulpit and. tlie- pew. Let those. ap- 
pointed to preach deliver their mes- 
sage in the demonstration of tlie 
Spirit and witli power. And let us 
expect the conversion of sinners and 
the upbuilding of the church in the 
places iwliere our Conference holds 
its sessions as tlie result of our con- 
vocation. Then we can reture to our

Last spring, In Montgomery, AJa., 

I gave to as intelligent an audience 
as could iiave been gathered in .the 
State the lecture on "Discounted 
Ministries; or, the Philosophy ‘ of 
True Life.” I was tlie guest-of Hijii. 
David Clopton, who presided and 
presented the lecturer on the occa- 
sion. After we returned from the 
lecture hall, I said to .him : “ Judge,. 

I observed to-night that you listened 
closely to whut i said, and, knowing 
ttfe clearness of your apprehension 
and tlie closeness with which you are 
accustomed to listen at tlie bar, I II 
take the liberty or asking you candid- 
ly Instate if there was a word of tlie 
lecture in contradiction of what you. 
understand to he our Methodist view 
of-tlie Christian religion ?” 

He answered, 'promptly : "Not a 
word, sir, struck me as obnoxious to 
stii-h criticism.” 

He added', what was very gruteful 
o me. tils annrecialidn of the dts-

generous forbearance, magnanimity 
and brotherly sympathy to which 
the Great Father tills, fashioned the 
human heart to respond. Legalistic' 
severity in self-assurance of personal - 
prerogittives predicated of negative 
virtues iiave operated estopage of 
manhood in many who, had they but 
been softened to. a service hi which 
the word " brotherhood ” would mi- 
body tin'll express tlie Ideal, would 
iiave gleamed so sweetly In tlie firma- 
ment of God's kingdom of love as to 
give inspiration of repentance anil re- 
newal to many who for lack of just 
that have gone under in humiliation 
instead of rising by humility into re- 
instatement of honor. That is a giant 
power of which Jesus speaks, and

Letter from Dr. Cottrell. 


Ever since leaving Louisville, in 
October, I have purposed to com 
nidificate through the Advdi'ATI-: 
witli many of my old-time friends 
who iiave assured me of interest in 
what I write ; but tlie claim of tlie 
Courier-Journal is first for a consid- 
eration, and many other things iiave 
prevented. ■ 

I spent the week of the session of 
tlie North Alabama Conference in 
marking its deliberations. There 
was, indeed, some " Conference ”, of 
the brotherhood, especially on tlie 
question of blending tlie Nortli Ala- 
bama Conference witli the other Ala- 
bama Conference in patronage of the 
Southern University at Greensboro. 
Dr. Anson West mive the proposition 
no quarter; but lie was speaking 
against a foregone certainty , of Con- 
ference agreement to the enterprise, 
so that nothing was expected of his 
speech in result, saving tlie deliver- 
ance, ill very plain terms, what, lie 
evidently thought and felt concern- 
ing tlie venture. One thing Impressed 
itself very forcibly upon my mind as 
I listened to a leading member in 
reply to Dr. W.est. Ho had, us he 
supposed, taken down front the lips 
of ills opponent the positions urged 
against tlie measure ; hut, singular to 
say, in- nearly, if not quite, eyery 
point lie misstated the positions. Dr, 
West endeavored to" correct him, but 
lie would hear to nothing of the sort. 
"I took it down from your own lips," 


to ,ine, his apnreciattoi 
mission. 1 took the liberty of thus 
asking on tlie score of liis having 
been in the Quarterly Conference that 
gave me license to preach and recom- 
inendatiofi for entrance into the 
traveling ministry. His .mind is as 
clear as the waters' of little Lake 
Margaretta, just out of tlie window 
here, where my eye can glance at its 
beaut v as f now write, and, being a 
devoted, active Methodist, alive to all 
tlie interests of tlie church, it lias 
been no little satisfaction to mSTffflbt 
over liis view against that of some 
who have been at pains to sity their 
aq y in n o fu rtherance of a proper 
understanding of what I claim as the 
cream "of tlie best thinking of u life- 
time. " . 

. Guv. Thomas H. \\ alts was good 
enough to write a i ri/J'jur of the same 
lecture, which' appeared in tlie 
Courier-Journal, in which .-bis com- 
mendation was without stint, anil in 
which lie declared tlie positions I 
took as “ irrefragable." ..(Job John 
W. a. Kauford was pleased to utter 
himself in commendation quite as 
unqualified, linif he is known to rank 
with it lie" foremost in ability and in- 
telligence, as also in integrity of word. 
This statement is not made in any 
spirit of complaint ugainst the few 
upon wtiose ear the lecture has struck 
differently ; hut merely that friends 
who Iiave made inquiry of me may 
know that my. own. assurance of 
mind, that I verge not an iota from 
tlie line to which I am committed by 
nrofession . and ordination, is not 
greater than is thul of .the most uimt- 
petent men who Iiave honored me 
witli their audience. When Bishop 
Kavanuugh, On hearing me at itir- 

iningham, grasped my nanu im [ t,ie 

aisle of the church, remarking- I m 
glad I heard you. They Iiave mis- 
uuderstijod you. It is an important 
distinction you make between m- 
spi ration ami revelation I felt that 
liis generous and candid recognition 
was indemnity for what liad from an- 
other. source been not so grateful. 

Now, I Iiave uudcsignedly been 
betrayed into this statement, know- 
ing that a great many readers of the 
Ajivot'ATT. are not altogether indif- 
ferent to tlie..sfaf!<* of any brother 
who assumes to speak upon the high 
est themes. “'lake lined how ye 
hear," was thought to. lie an injunc- 
tion 'quite as important as any in 

regard to speaking. 

Speaking of partial hearing, whut 
is- there more annoying than in any 
essay atconver.se or conference witli 
another, you perceive a purpose sin- 
ister to gather tlie, odds and ends of 
your little by-play of retnarli, as if 
gathering waste locks from your 
rapid picking out of which to produce 
on the tongue, as a spindle, threads 
for u cord to throttle your reputation . 

I was recently so vividly impressed 
with this as the infirmity of a man, 
who lias liad opportunity seriously to 
affect others in their comfort and in 
that of their families, that a feeling 
kindred to distress came upon me, 
and I could hut deplore such a limita- 
tion, sin'll a turn aside of tlie head, 
breaking tlie monotony of straight-, 
forwardness in one otherwise quali- 
fied for great ellei'llveiiess. Much an 
annoyance is, if possible, more keenly 
affii'etive than 1 h that of in tty l 11 "'-

even in summer are cool -enough to 
make a blanket desirable. It is very 
dry and dusty lier.e now— a thing 
very- -unusual for this season of the 
vear — and much anxiety is felt con- 
cerning tlie crop for the incoming 
year- Wheat is tlie principal crop 
raised here, and many farmers have 
not sowed yet. They have ndt made 
a good crop here in five years. No 
cotton or cane is raised herb, and not 
much corn. Tlie finest hogs and - 
cattle are here that I eyer saw. In 
tills country are tlie famous red wood 
trees more than thirty feet in diarn- 
eter. N<> factoflea in tills country, 


and t hey cost twenty-five dollars per

cans hardly distinguishable from In- 
dians. All manner of iruits are raised

iiave a considerable number of t-hi- 
nese in our town, and I contemplate 
making some effort soon to do mis-

The trial of 15. F. Jenkins, ,J r., anil 
Soil Jenkins, brothers, for the killing 
oT ttev. J. I.ano Borijen, president of 
Mansfield Female College, last June, j 
at Mansfield, La.', is now in progress. , 

As an item of news domanded by the 
luircli at large we publish the testi- 1 
:,iony as reported in 4ho Timos-Demo- ; 
Iriit. It will he remembered that Mr. 
Jenkins was a young lieenUate in tlie 
Louisiana Conference, of the Method fat 
Kpiscopal Church, South, and Mr. 
liordeu onS of its leading and most in- 
liut ntial members. Wo simply repro- 
jjfca the testimony without . other 
festuros’of the trial : 

The lirst witness sworn was ltev. S. 
s Keener. A point was made by t lie 
defense in objection to the introduction 
,,f certain evidence of Mr. Keener, and 
a running debate, was indulged in lie- 
tween Messrs. Jnok ami Hell,’ ot t-ho 
demise, and Messrs. Wise and Hall. 
The witncHH was partially oxanunea 
i, ml excused for the present; the judge , 
having declined to decide the point at , 
issue at tlie time. . | 

T. .1. Williams testified that lie was 
standing In front of Kerry Walker's 
store w;hen Iiorden was, killed, Hoard 
a pistolfiliat in tlie direction of Jenkins 
Store; 'saw? llorden on . the sidewalk, 
list in front ol tlie store, witli his face 
toward tlie door. Ho wits bending far- 
ward, clashing both bauds on bis 
stomach, immediately after which he 
ran down the street,. entering Williams 
A llebgood's store. Ills movements 
wore such as if lie was liadly hurt am 
111 distress; Itis strides were Short amt 
slow, I saw lien Jenkins with a pistol 
in his hands, following him into \\ ll- 
1 'Jams ,t Hobgood’ a store. I ms «»* 
tlie last time I saw oitiier until alter 
the killing. Heard two pistol shots, 
with a short interval between, wliteli i 
located in the -store; one at the back 
door and two In tlie rear of Jenkins 


was mad with him. Tllioe-ijutaters of 
an hour later he Wild Borden he thought 
Ben was mad with him. Ho looked 
troubled and wVtrrled. 

Isaac B. Lllltte was "sworn. Ho was 
trailing with Ned Jenkins when Borden 
came in. Ho left them chatting pleas- 
antly. When twenty feet from the 
store he heard a pistol, firod. Turning, 
he saw Borden come from Jenkins’ 
store, entering Hobgood it Williams’ 
store. Ben Jenkins followed, with Nod 
Jenkins behind him. They entered 
the same store. Both had pistols. 

J. 1). Mllllcan testified that lie wats 
sitting itt front of Wont pie’s store, be- 
tween Jenkins’ and Williams it Hob- 
good’s storos. 1 beard a pistol' shot 
while I was sitting thorp, and looked 
and saw Mr. Borden clasp bis, hands to 
his loft broaHt, bending forward ; be 
said; "Oh, von have shot, and killed 
me, and I have done nothing to you’." 
Don’t know whom ho addrossod, as he 
rati oil'. Think lie said : " For Hod’s 
sake, Bennie, dont shoot me any more : 
you have alreadittckllled me." lie ran 
by me into Willies its llobgood’s 
store. Ben Jpnktnflffolhnving with a 
pistol in Ids hand, entered tlie same 
store. I heard aeveral more shots, but 
did not see any one shoot. I saw Ned 
Jenkins oome out of Ids father's store 
behind Ben Jenkins, going in tlie. same 
direction. 1 think' I saw a pistol in Ids 
' l i ml il a f I was about Jen feet.. from 
Borden when tlie first shot was fired. 
Ben Jenkins. did net come out ol the 
deer, in front of which Borden was 
standing when shot, hut came out. the 
one beyond. 1 think Ned'.tanaiivs ptdy 


believe Borden was sincere. After- 
ward saw Jehklns at the colloge. lie 
was talking to Miss Butler.. ■ $or ' 1 '’' 1 
came Into the room where w* were, 
and JonkitiB said to him, -'ou |iavo 
beat me out'of $2.” lie referred to the 
fact that he had Intended to ride wit 
-Miss Butlor, and Borden had provonted 

it- Thb witness was cross-examined 
bv the defense. Wttnpss thought Jenk- 
ins’ exprasH'ions upon Borden s conduct 
and slight Were of a more eerious 
nature than would be those of other, 
voung men' under similar circum- 
stances. Witnoss said: ‘.‘If I hat^any 111

answer a question. W’e have in "our 
country a good supply of churches, 
preachers u'ml good Christians, hut after 
all that the Bible and gospel ordinances 
have done lor os there are a great many 
vory wicked men among us : young 
men, middle-sged men, and even ajM 
men. A great many of them are ad- 
dicted to tlie use of profane and- \ ulgar 
language: to Sabbath-breaking, dm 
enuess', gambling and many other gross , 
immoralities. They 'sometimes quarrel | 
and’ light with their, neighbors! li.it ■ 
them with sticks, stall them with j 
! knives and even Shoot them to death 
with pistols and guns. Our country is 
stained with blood and murder by some 
of these bail men. And what is more 
to be deplored tliau all, else, the most, of 
j them die in their sins, and, according 
! to tho Scriptures, go into eternal pun- 
ishment. Now the question 1 wish you 
i to answer is this. " W’hat are all these

lie halloed two or three times, and 
made use of this expression: ‘Sic

conduct, such as I had never witnessed 
bet ore. After I lied arrested Ned, Ben 
said: "1 lired tlie fatal shot. Ned 
said: " You did not, I shot him m the | 
head.-” Wo then started tor tlie-s.lierill s |

much excited for an hour or two. 1 
was present when B. !\ Jenkins, tsr., , 
came into tlie slierilBs office, lie said, 
addressing Ben: “What a calamity 

you have brought upon us. \\ here- 
upon Beil said: “Give me a pistol, and 
lot me kill myself,” and tried to get 
tho sherilVs pistol. W’itnoss heard six 

pistol shots during the killing. 

The witness was then cross-examined. 
When he first saw Ned lie did not ap- 
pear much excitod. He said that up 
to tlie time of the surrender,, whon Nod 
contended that he had fired the latal

A Caution and Exhortation.

growing tendency among a certain 
class of teachers in this country to 
ignore tlie importance of and tlie ab- 
solute necessity fora change of heart, 
a new birth, regeneration. This 
tendency is particularly manifest in 
their talks and sermons to the cb iF

young people are influenced to join 
tlie church on a mere confession or 
acknowledgment of Christ, without 
any 4i£ar experience of grace, with- 
out a change of heart. Now’, this

The Bishop's presence in our midst

he made here twenty-nine years. ago, 
and will give iniorest to-the follow- 
ing personal which we find in the 
New Oki. mans Christian Arivo- 
C'ATK of February 8, 1855': 

" Bishop , Kavanaugh has been 
' spending a fortnight of lalirtr in our 
city. His services have been ,a con- 
firmation of the churches. Accom- 
companied by Mrs. K., who consti- 
tutes his family, lie has been itinerat- 
ing siuce Inst summer from St. Louis 
to tlie Crescent City. He left Tues- 
day evening for Versailes, Ky„ stop- 
ping by the way at Lake Providence, 
Natchez, and some other points. His 
health is good. The preaching of 
| Bishop Kavanaugh is eminently.ex- 
I pViBitory in matter aud experimental 
. in application. He deals — we say 
i delights— in the mysteries of tlie gos- 
I pel of Jesus Christ. Its cardinal 
| truths are set fortli by liis sermons 
, in a clear light and a clean cut edge.

A Note of Thanks. 

Mu. KniTim: Since my great 
atllictiou came upon me I have been 
so unsettled, and the , number of 
kitldly expressions through the ; 
mails from brethren, botii clerical > 
and lay, have so multiplied upon me ; 
tiiat I ask that 'you graut me a little j 
space in you.r valued paper to return : 
to niy friends and. brethren my deep- 
est gratitude for tlieir words of sym- 
pathy and cheer in this the 'sorest 1 
and hardest of all trials.; As one said 
to me so I have found tiiat these 
words, so expressive of brotherly j 
feeling, arc not idle thing*. Nq, no; 
my brethren, lie assured that your 
words liave not been spoken in vain. 

They could’ not change physical 
facts; but to 'know that so many 
hearts heat in sympathy with me, 
and that so many prayers were t 
ascending to the throne of grace for 
me and mine,' was comfort indeed. 

While I pray God's blessings on all 
men uprm you especially do I ask'his 
richest- rewards* . y ‘ .

The'Origin of Watch-Night and Covenant 
Services. 

The following, from tlie Irish 
Christian Advocate, will he interest- 
ing Centenary reading to all lovers 
of these old Methodist institutions : 

The first watch-night service was 
held' In London, in April, 1742. Tlie 
service then and for some time after- 
ward commenced at half-past eight 
o'clock, and eoutlm/ed until mid- 
night. The custom Was introduced 
Gy the Kingswood colliers, who, 
Previous to tlieir conversion to God, 
were iu tlie habit of- spending each 
Saturday night at tlie ale-house. 
After.tlietr ohaiige of heart and life 
'bey Hpent tiiat night in prayer. Mr. 
Wesley, who was always reudy to 
adopt anything that lie considered 
would lie for tlie general good, order- 
ed it first to be held mice a mouth, at 
the time of the full moon, then once 
^quarter, and strongly recommended 
it to all ids societies. Mr. Wesley 
was informed tiiat several persons at 
Kingswood frequently met together, 
and, when they could spare tlie time, 
spent the greater part of the night iu 
•gayer, praiHe and thanksgiving. 
■ s ‘une advised him to forbid it, but 
. [ipon thoroughly weighing Hie mat- 
ter, ami comparing it with the prac- 
tice of the ancient Christians, lie 
eould see no reason to object to it, so 
he sent them word tiiat lie designed 
to watch with them on tlie Friday 
nearest the full moon. On P’riday 
abundance of people came, and he 
began preaching between eight aud 
htne, and continued a little beyond 
■ tlie noon of night, singing, praying 
Mn| praising God. Kvery one knows 
mat it is uoW held, as a rule, on tne 
last night of the old year. 
- , - Jp - il lujmnrtli of -Augiiat, 1755, the. 
Ueiiewiug of the Covenant was be- 


j membership of the patronizing Con 
fereuces, an association -of one thou- 
sand members, to tie known as “Tlie 
Missionary Association of the New 
Orleans Christian .Advocate,” 
who will pay annually one dollar 
each to support a missionary ill 
'China. May we ask Mrs. O, B. Gal- 
loway to be president 2 Tlie names of 
myself and little ward, with two 
dollars, will be- forwarded when tlie 
treasurer announces himself ready to 
receipt for money aud the secretary 
for names. 

Hoping tlie idea may prove prac- 
tical and result in good to tlie great 
cause, I subscribe myself,

.limit o! the heart is a common abnor- 
mal condition. Ohstruotions in the 9 y__ 
.?ou*r5*e of the riroulation -^notably the . 
kidneys— are at times instrumental in • | 

the causation o.i this trouble. The 
tbrobbinK of a lart?e heart is sometimes 
quite, annoying by its violence. II 
along with an enlarged heart thero be £ 
weak blood-vessels it is plain thaj. a J 
break- is quite possible. This will be 
followed by results of greater or loss « 
gravity, according to the location of the M 
broken arteTy. A. proportion of the 
sudden-deaths said to be due to heart 
disease are in all probability duo in the - 
breaking of an artery in thh lirain. 
Dyspeptic persons often ' imagine that pn 
they have heart (lisease, and it is quite 
true that palpitation— irregular action 
—of the heart is a very -usual coinci- .

The Kffect of Fuksii Am.— He- W 
cently'the infant child of Fair Haven 
Cbuii. parents was supposed to be * v 
dying of cholera iufautuiu. The family n 
physician advised that its. life could 
only .be saved b> a ebauge qf air. as ^ 
medicine would have no power to elVect j 
any benefit. Circumstances pot favor- ^ 
ing a journey, the mother decided on a 
plan, which was executed. She carried 
her babe to the top of Fast liock, re- 
maining with it there all daj\ This 
she did on the following day, returning j 
homo at night. On the Sunday follow- ^ 
ing the first day of the experiment, 
which was on Thursday, the lady’s 
husband wont to Ea9t Kock with his 
wife and baby, a lady being in their 
company. They put the child in a ^ 
hammock suspended between two trees i 
and stayed all that day. By night the 
child was much improved in strength, 
and in a few days was entirely recover-

Cost of Sickness.— I) r. Billings, in a 
recent lecture- on sanitary science, in 
Baltimore, shows that the last epidemic 
of small-pox there’eost the municipal 
government and entailed a com- 

mercial loss of ^1,000,000. Tliis is a lair 
• representation of the cost of inditlerence 
to scientific sanitary regulations. The 
yellow fever threatened the very exist- 
ence of Memphis in 1678 ; it cost Savan- 
nah over # $’>,()b0,0o() in 1875, and the list 
of damages to other cities through pro- 
ventible scourges might be almost in- 
definitely extended. It is not necessary 
to argue that preventive measures are 
always cheaper than full-blown epi- 
demics. J ’ That is self-bvident. It is 
necessary, however, to convince men 
and women that it is to their interest 
to co-operate with sanitary hoards to 
eifectuate preventive measures. -Louis-

lii talking witli one o f our tiest young 
oreachers not "long since, lie said, in 
reference to Hnother of our preachers, 
T.jje was humiliated in his appoint- 
J „ e nt, as lie expected a better one,” 
«nd that a friend writing to him had 
said ‘‘Study hard and be faithful, that 
vou 'may be advanced ip your, appoint-, 
nients. This is a very natural ambi- 
tion with voung men, and wo all 
ilouhtleBs have it at some time, hut I 
«m doubtful that it is of grace, llatlier, 

Is it not true that the man who is called 
. of Offdto preach -should foel ihal-thore 
no place unworthy of him so long as 
there is need of the gospel, and tho good 
Lord takes care of h i in ? . 

\Ve have no good appointments; 
though we have a few prominent cues, 
they are the hardest to fill of any in our 
conference. A preacher may receive 
larger pay in some limit iti other fields, 
V et the* preachers who receive the 
smaller SAlaries have the loaat expense, 
ami frequently receive more than those 
wlio got the "larger salaries, if one’s 
"expenses are to be estimated in tho 
account. 1 have been-on work in tho 
large banner mission, tho small station, 
Diom TgB rart inn, tlrtv weak ctrcirit, the 
strong circuit and the largo district, and 
.•I find tho smallest conceivable dill'er- 
ence in appointments, so icing as a man 
attends to Ids calling ayd trusts in tho 
Lord. He will take care of those who 
trust in him arid do good. These shall 
dwell lo-the laud jind. verily tbey shall 
lie fed. . 

Ilrellireti, wo are hero, .not to build 
nn the foundation anotberUias laid, but 
to lay 1 the ftnindattoii 1 and Imild-tlie 
„ syper-structure' ourselves.' The- man 
who lias not a consuming desire to lay 
' the foundation himself is hardly quali- 
lied for tills field. We must have the 
spirit that Paul bad. .wlren lie said, ‘‘I 
strived. to preach the gospel, not where 
Christ was named, lest 1 should build 
’ mi another mail’s foundation.’ We are 
, here not, to enjoy the. good .fields pre- 
\ pared for us.'l.ul to make them. It is 
i easy to stand where another lias pre- 
pared the halting. Hitt to go into the 
highways and hedges, in tho mountain 
gorges and the barren plains, and pro- 
claim the gospel where it has never 
been heard, requires the strength which 
the Master alone can -supply. Tho 
- foundation is not sightly .nor pleasant 
to construct, still it determines the 
, character and proportions of the build- 
ing. As foundation builders, may we 
build on the rock Christ Jesus, and 
consider it our chief joy to be permitted 
to labor thus. We need a half dozen 
•more men in this conference who will 
rejoice in this drudgery of foundation 
building, w ho are willing to labor and 
stiller that they may win souls. 

The-dav will come when we will 
thank tied, not for the pleasant fields 
we have had, but for the hardness we 
have endured, tho privations we have 
Hiillered for his name’s sake, and (or 
the "grace we had to preach Christ 
where ho lias not been named. — K., in 
Colorado Methodist. 


I Can't (,.kt. Away! — S o said a friend 
as I asked tier where she went to elm rch. 
She had moved hep residence from the 
country into the city, and still retainod 
her membership in the country oliu rch. 
Her reply to' my qiiesfon was, "I can’t 
get away from home." She had board- 
ers to attend to, ami the children to 
•look after, and so she was getting pretty 
well settled in the habit of not going. I 
urged her m the brief time I had, to try 
amt get out occasionally at least. I 
wanted to sav more, and as slut and 
some others in like circumstances may 
read this paper, 1 thought 1 would, 
place two or tlireo facts before them, 
hoping 1 might aid them in escaping 
from theltabit into which they are fall- 
ing, , 

It v staying away Ironi church yon 
are depriving yourself of spiritual help 

- to ho obtainod through those servtees. 

Hod does bless tlioso who worship -him 
ill his sanctuary. You have often found 
itso in the past, I have no hesi tation 
in making this appeal to.your own ex- 
perience. Then do not, 1 entreat you, 
neglect these services. 

Your presence is missed at the church. 

I know you may reply that you can not 
be of much service. That may lie so. 
And vet every one is needed in his or 
her place, and your example in being 
in your place, will help some sine else 

10 i?«- . , 

By Btaying away you are iiitlueiicing 
others to stay away. Thu children uiav 
say, “Ma does not go t<i church and 
therefore we need not," and whey are 
in dangor of being intluenced by your 
course of action to neglect the service 
of tlie house of Clod. 

There areotlier reasons that might be 
given to which I will not now ruler. I 
will not admit that you can not him

i locomotive - 

J The engine spraug forward with- great 
force, breaking the eouplins between 
tlie tender and baggage car. The loco- 
motive kept tlie track, but tlie baggage 
and smoking car anil ailollittr dial'll 
dropped through and piled up in .one 
mass at the foot of the pie.rs ; the smok- 
ing cap being partially toloscopod on 
the baggage ear. The wreck was par- 
tially submerged, but the portion above 
the water immediately took tire from 
the stoves. 

The officials.- of the road went-to work 
vigorously and systematically, and in a 
short time tlie tire was extinguished 
and a search for bodies begun. Six 
persons were either killed outright or 
burned to death. 

B. J. White was working under the 
bridge xvlieti tlie train turned over. 
He savB lie thinks tlie rods pulled 
through the mils, lotting the bridge 
down. To all appearances one break 
occurred within fifteen feet of the pier, 
and another about midway of the span. 
Whlte’B escape was truly marvelous, 
lie was standing on the ice, and the 
failing bridge and cars struck him on 
the head and drove him through the 
ice and down to the very bottom of tlie 
river. The timbers did not rest upon 
him, however, aud he swam out, more 
dead than alive, covered with bruises, 
but able to walk.

Baton Rouge, Feb. 3 .-Tl)e’steamer 
Natchez landed at Baton Rouge to-day 
at about 12:30 o’clock, and soon after- 
ward steamed tip the river, closely fol- 
lowed bv the Jesse K. Bell. When 
about four liiileH above here tlie main 
steam-pipe of tlie Natchez on the. star- 
board side exploded,,’ tearing up tlie 
floor of staterooms Nos.,G and 7, the 
gangway and doors and the barbpr 
shops, . The cHbin was tilled with esca- 
ping steam. The pilot headed her for 
shore and landed safely. The Jesse K. 
Bell come to and blew a distress whistle, 
which was answered py the tug Mamie 
Wood, which went up with Drs. Rey- 
naud and Buffington. The Bell soon 
afterward went up the river. The only 
person killed was Johnny, a negro boy 
1 about fourteen years old, employed in 
tlio pastry room, who stepped on tlie 
gallory just before tlie 'explosion and 
was instantly killed, lie was from 
Yazoo City, Miss. 

Vicksburg, Feb. 3. — John A. Klein, 
one of the oldest and best known of tlie 
citizens or Vicksburg, died to-day at 1 
o’clock. He settled in Vicksburg in 
1830. 

At the close of the war lie went into 
the banking business, and was ono of 
the founders of the Vicksburg Bunk. 
After a few years connection witli oth- 
ers, lie started the Mississippi Valley 
-Hank,jr-hoHB diHaHtfous,failure siartlod 
this community in November last. The 
deceased had been in failing Jipaltli lor 
the last few years, and had ceased to 
have anything to do with business. At 
the time of bis deatli lie did not know 
anything of the failure of the Valley 
Bank. He was one of the most chari- 
table men that ever lived in this or any 
other community, and no one will ever 
know of the countless deeds of charity 
done by him. 

New York, Feb.4.— Tlie Daily Com- 
mercial Bulletin, of Fob. ft gives tlie de- 
tailsof January tires, 'showing an aggre- 
gate of ®12,nU0,'0(® destroyed during the 
month. Of this amount $10,200,001) was 
burned up. by 284 tires, where the re- 
ported loss" was from §10,000 and up- 
wards. No such tire loss in a single 
month has occurred since 1872, so far 
as tlie records show, except in January, 
1879, and July, 1877. There were twenty 
tires in January where the reported loss 
was § 100,000 or more, the value of, tlio 
twenty tires being §3,250,000,- or more 
than one-fourth of the month's total 
lire waste. 

Boston, Fell! 4.— The funeral services 
of Wendell Phillips will be held at 
Fanouil Hall the latter part of the week. 
No day lias yet been specilied. Tlie 
autopsy showed the terrible nature ol 
the disease that had caused death. His 
sutlerings must have been most acute 
aud his fortitude, in tlie light of the 
present developments, something re- 
markable. -

London, Jan. 30.— Within a railiusof

Alasia. 

Mr. Bradlaugh acquiesces in the sug- 
gestion of Mr. Lahouchere that he make 
no otl'ort to take the oath on the open- 
ing of Parliament, but remain below 
the bar. On the 1 1th of February, how- 
ever, he will advance to the table of the 
House of Commons to take the pre- 
scribed oath. Meanwhile Northcole 
will make no motion liostilo to Brad- 
laugh, and will not support any Con- 
servative who does. 

Vihnna, Austria, Jan. 31. — Appre- 
hension oJ’ further Hpcialistlc disturb- 
ances has led to the adoption of extra- 
ordinary measures by tlie Ministry. 
By virtue of the law of 18(19 Riev have 
published an ordinance which pro- 
claims a kind of martial law in the dis- 
tricts of Vienna, Kernenburg and 
WeinerneuHtadt^ Special' measures 
have been adopted also with reference 
to suspicious letters and dangerous 
publications. In Vienna and Keruen- 
burg the trial by jury is suspended. 
The president of the Council and Min- 
ister of the Interior sent a letter to tlie 
lower house of the Reichstag explain- 
ing extraordinary measures taken in 
consequence of the recent crimes, the 
present means being insufficient to 
suppress them., . x

thrown out bv Etna in 1810 was in 
motion, at the rate of a, yard a day, for 
nine months after the eruption ; and it 
is bn record that tlie laya of tlie nanio 
mountain, after a terriblo eruption, was 
not thoroughly cool and consolidated 
for ten voars after the event. In tlie 
eruption of Vesuvius, A-. D. 79, tlie 
scoria ahd ashes vomited forth far ex- 
ceeded the entire bulk of tlie mountain; 
while in 1000 Etna disgorged twenty 
times its own mass. Vesuvius lias 
sent its ashes as far as Constantinople, 
Kvria, anti Egypt-; it hurled stones 
eight pounds in weight to Pompeii, a 
distance of six miles, while similar 
masses wore tossed up 2,000 foot above 
the summit. Cotopaxi lias projected a 
block of 109 cubic yards in volume a 
distance of nine miles ; and Sumwaba 
in 181ft, during the- most, terrible orup 
tion on reeprd, sent its ashes as far as 
Java, a distance oi'300 miles 

Miss Bird in her book, “Unbeaten 
Tracks in Japan,” says, “ Df.tho shad- 
ows which hang upon the horizon of 
Japan, the darkest, to my thinking, 
arises from the fact that she is making 
tlio attempt, lor the tirst time in history, 
to secure tlie fruits of Christianity with- 
out- transplanting tlie tree from whicli 
they spring. The nation sunk in im- 
-nior al i ty , -tme-mb-l-Btone- of o r ie n talism I 
hangs round lier neck in tlie race on 
which 'She' has started, and her progress 
is political and intellectual rather than 
moral ; in other words, as regards the 
destiny of man, individually or collect- 
ively, 'it is at present a failure. The 
great hope for lier is that Hho may grasp 
the truth and purity of primitive Chris- 
tianity, as taught by the lips and life of 
our Lord Jesus Christ, as resolutely as 
she has graspod our arts and sciences; 
and that in the reception of Christian- 
ity, with its true prineiplas of manli- 
ness and national greatness, she may 
become in the highest sense ‘The Land 
of the Rising Sun,’ and the light of 
Eastern ABia.”

gracious spirit, from the circle ol whoso 
Influence they carod liot-.to-depart. If 
tho jailor was not awakened by the 
r ] voice of that all-conquering song, sure- 
ly the reallng of tho prison by tfre 
earthquake brought him to his feet. 
What started this wondrous power, 
which expressed Its energy as well on 
rooks and Iqcks as'on Mesh and spirit, 
and on the subtle bodies of Moating 
songH and rising praise? What but the 
faith of those prostrato praying ones? 

! The earthquake was awakened by the 
same prayer which charmed the atten- 
tion of the prisoners. I f tho notes of 
that midnight prayer could make those 
prisoners .forgot tliolr anguish and 
their chains, 'Could break those 
“stony hearts,'' was it a wondei that it 
Bhould strike down beneath the foun- 
dation of that prison and lift them up 
in the arms of its power? It had 
reached beneath the deepest agony of 
these suffering; souls, and lifted them 
and their sor.t4.wg into’ the joys of 
heaven. Few of tho most rationalistic 
| adventurers have dared to tone down 
the supernatural on this wonderful in- 
’ terposition of Providence.. Tho aroused 
; keeper, seeing the doors all open «hd 
i supposing the prisoners all lied, drew 
out his Hword to kill himself; •Uiml-ile-

\ words as to change his'dcadlyjpurpose.

was a singular providence that saved 
this than from self-destruction \iere in

Christ 1 with ids disciples stands wholly 
upon their relation to him as members 
of his mystical 1 body, the church.' It 
is in tliis respect only that they are 
'one with him,’ and there can be no 
identity of Christ with ‘little children’ 
but by virtue of the same relation ;

cision was then, the initiatory rite." 

He then adds Mark x, 14-1M, to prove 
that the children spoken of in Luke lx,

Continuing tiie argument Mr. Wat- 
son says : 

“If it be asked ‘of what import, 
Jimp, is baptism to children if as In- 

relation to ChrlBt’ the answer is that it 
is of the same Import as circumcision 
was to Abraham, which was ‘a seal of,

you may lie sure the half hour spent 
there was one of great pleasure and 
profit, for it is truly a benediction to 
bear this grand old patriarch of Meth-

subjects as the providence of God and 
the future reward of the righteous. He

Lydia and her household had been won' 
for the Lord ; a poor devil-possessed- 
damsel had been freed from the tyr- 
anny of an evil spirit, on the other 
hand, the sordid greed of a hand of 
wicked men tiad been thwarted, and 
the opposition ol an infuriated multi- 
tilde had been thoroughly aroused and 
culmftlated in those gospel messengers 
being dragge l before a furious mob- 
court, and, with some show of a pre- 
liminary investigation, were Hogged 
publicly, unheard, and then taken to 
the -prison, their feet made fast in 
stocks, and thrust, in this condition, 
into one of the. dungeon pits of the in- 
ner prison, to lodge for tho night, and 
in tho morning have a further trial, 
i pon this scene in the amazing drama 

from this point had been lost, who 
could finish' it so that the sequel would 
tit the part, we have? But the record 
has been preserved by an Artist who 
conceived -the entire plot. 

These strange criminals lay lieLpless 
in their abject misery, their dark and 
disinal cell fast bolted. How shall they 
pass the night? Sleep wbb out of the 
(juestiom Held in .one position on 
their backs, without the slight relief of 
the least motion. Exquisite 'torture 
above the pain which danced with feet 
. of fire over their laebrated bodies, 
bruised and furrowed in blood-gorged 
weals by every cruel blow. How shall 
we find' them when the door is Hung 
open in the morning? The history 
tells. “At midnight l’aul and Silas 
prayed and sung praises unto God, and 
the prisoners lipitrd them.” 

What supernal tones quivered oh 
every note— notes’ of- soul and souls in 
heaven— for no mortal tones could have 
held the attentive hearing of those 
fellow-captives. The sound of those 
chanted praises, tremulous with' tha 
voice of the all-conquering love of God 
in JesUH, made its way along the dis- 
mal corridors, and stealing through 
the narrow grating of every cell, per- 
meated, like an odpr, through all the 
groaning air of that place, and estab- 
lished forever the power of the gospel 
oil earth to change a hell to heaven. 
God had in other days sustained hik 
saints hy his presence, but never more 
tenderly than here. He, sent liis serv- 
ants such measures -of liis grace that 
their souls were exalted above all pain. 
The most joyous epistle of all was born 
of this night's experience. But the God j 
of l’aul and isilaa nad other resources 
than tiie riche's iris gratis hy which j 
further to vindicate thb cause of his j 
servants lie In I used the winds of 
heaven to Ipc-ieu uis messenger with 
the gospel,' and now again he calls lo 
his aid nature fr- tu beneath. Beneath 
the foundation <d that prison he had, 
waiting liis word lor centuries, a giant 
earthquake, ail its' terrors and awful 
upheaving power intact as when lirBt 
from the hand ol Its Maker. Tiie time 
had (Time for the fqlfiilment of the pur-

to die. . j 

But now, though saved from the ter- ; 
ror of the magistrate.and the disgrace ! 
of sleeping at ids jiost, another more : 
awful terror confronts. With the Hash 
of ids lantern tho whole situation is 
discovered, and he becomes aware of 
the miraculous character of tho whole 
transaction. Verily these men are the 
servants of Ihe most high God, and 
against him have 1 sinned, lie feels 
that these threaten the wratli and dis- 
pleasure of a higher tribunal than that 
of Rome. Bringing up Paul and Silas 
out of the dungeon, lie falls trembling 
before them as before those who were 
under more than mortal protection, 
and with the earnestness or one facing 
the supremest issue of his life cries 
out:. “Sirs, what must I do to' be 
saved?" The reply of Paul was as 
ready and appropriate to this man's 
dire necessity as before when he would 
have killed himself. This time the 
pangs of death had taken hold upon 
more than his mortality, but the gospel 
is ready in its remedies for soul and 
body. We do not foel called upon.Jas 
some have, to explain the abruptness 
of this man’s Question and the sudden- 


ness of his conversion. We indulge ho 
wonde'rattlie ready capitulation of this 
jailer; it is a lit sequel to tiie earth- 
quake and all tiie Wonders which pre- 
ceded the introduction of the gospel 
to this Philippian prison. Tho Holy 
Ghost was but giving these first mis- 
sionaries a specimen of his power and 
methods. This was a precedent, a test 
case by which the conquest of many 
other s tjop fllinkls. were guaranteed to 
these intrepid soldiers of the cross 
have often thought while reading 
Paul’s letter to the Philippians that his 
joy and crown were the two households 
lie won over to the Lord, Lydia's and 
the Philippian jailer’s. Under these 
two types how many of earth’s families 
may take hope. Let Luke tell the rest 
of this lesson. 


This is tiie doctrine of the liible, and, 
therefore, of our church on this impor- 
tant subject. And, as for that matter, 
it is the creed of all brandies of the 
Uh'ristiau church. True, there are those 
who admit that part of it which saves 
all infants dying as such, and deify tiie 
other which makes them inconsistent 
with the word of God and with them- 
selves, for if it lie admitted that the | 
Blblte teaehea the fitness of all little 
hildren for heaven where is the con- 
sistency which denies to them the rite 
of baptism, which is designed to signify 
to both them and. us that such fitness 
does exist? Moreover, if little children 
belpng to the higher and purer Jiranch 
of the family by what authority shall 
tiliy one deny to them a place in the 
lower branch tliereoi? It is one un- 
broken family, though divided for a 
short space by tiie rapid flight of time, 
“of Whom the whole family in heaven 
and in earth is named.’’— Ephesians 
iii, 15. The answer to the question at 
the head of this paper, then, is that 
they sustain the same relation to the 
church that an eye, a hand, a fopt does 
to the body— thtey are members of it.

prepared. His studies were pursued

count furnished the Advocate by ltev.

ceived into tne church and the amount 
of riiissionnry money he collected dur- 
ing tiie year 1851, while traveling the 
Deivalb circuit, Alabama Conference, 
There may be some of his old friends 
still living whoi would like to know 
something of his labors and successes 
after he transferred to tiro Texas Con-' 
ference. As I was one of liis presiding 
eiders, in two Conferences i Texas and 
East Texas,; and was witlr him at sev- 
eral of his revival meetings, and by liis 
request, attended liis burial services, 
wrote bis obituary and preached his 
funeral sermon, I feel it due to liis 
memory, and to his friends as well, to 
state that 1 have never known a 
preacher more intent on laboring fof 
the conversion of sinners and bringing 
up tiie collections ordered by the Con- 
ferences than lie; especially was lie 
successful in his missionary collections, 
rarely, if over, falling behind tiie fore- 
most in ills Conference. He gave lilier- 


moder.vovmg mail, and, although but a 
bov in years, lie wielded a line moral' 
inti nonce over tlio lnlndlt of liis associ- 
ates, and would have spurned the ; er- 
petration of an act that would' hava.ro- 

sulted in reproach lo himself or family. jJ ■ . , , ■ .. ,

and character. His amiability of spirit, 
refinement of manners, and filial de- , 
votion lo liis parents— all conspired to I 
render him' a general favorite in the j 
community of Ins birth and boyhood. ! 
Not for a long. period has our neighbor-

pected death of this worthy, excellent 
young man. The church and com- 
munity have sustained loss. 11 was 
vorv sad Unit one who had so many 
strong attachments lor home, and whoso 
liolne was Hiich a delightful, happy ono,

influences and its loving, tender minis- 
istries. It is a pious household that is 
in bereavement. Thrice has tiie shad- 
ows of death fallen upon their hearts

The Relation of Baptized Children to the 
Church. 

I confess I was surprised when this 
question was raised in our late Confer- J 
ence session. Unless, indeed, the ob-j 
ject was to bring the matter more 
prominently before the church. If the 
Bible and our standard theoldg.y settles 
any one question beyond doubt atul 
disputation it is the very one at the 
head of this paper. Mr. Watson thus 
speaks on this subject: 

“ But we have our Lord'H direct tes- 
timony to this point, and that in two 
remarkable passages— Luke ix, -IT Is. 
We grant that this is an instance of 
teaching by parabolic action. The in- 
tention of Christ was to impress the 
necessity of humility and teachable- 
ness upon his disciples, and to afford a 
promise -to those who should receive 
j them .in his name, of that special grace 
j which was implied in receiving him- 
self. But, then, woro' there not a corre- 
spondence of circumstances between 
the-child taken hy Jesus In his arms 
and tiie disciples compared to this 
child there would lie no force, no pro- 
| firiety in Hie action, and tiie same truth, ( 
might have been hi forcibly stated 
without any action Of this kind at . all. 
Let', then, these correspondences be re- 
marked ii^ order to estimate the 
amount of their meaning, 

“The humility aud docility of tiie 
true disciple corresponded with tiie 
same dispositions in a young child; 
aud i lie 'receiving a disciple iu the 
/ci. ' ol Christ corresponds with tho 
receivi g of a child in the wnne of 
Christ, which can only mean tiie re- 
ceiving of each with kindness, on ac-

Mn. Editor: Wednesday afternoon 
after we received our appointment 
Monday night, Mrs. Coney and myself 
got on iioard the Jewel, a lied river 
boat, for Coushatta. No other preach- 
ers beside myself were along. A 
Cleverer set of officers than those on 
this handsome boat I've never seen. 
The. generous captain, Mr. Scovell, 
said my f( fo-ihould be free. I resisted 
that he nF ^ 6 ' have at least half fare, 
and tlnisp . vailed. Sunday, at nine 
A. M., we landed. at Consliatta. Bro. 

] Blocker soon introduced me to Bro. D. 
i ll. Hayes, who had come down to meet 
tiie new preacher. - We soon found our- 
selves seated by a splendid fire, which, 
by the way, was ill large demand, in 
the delightful home of an old-fashioned 
Methodist family. In a short while I 
heard the Sunday-school hell ring, and 
in a few minutes more the children 
cauie.in. We went over to- the church, 
and began making the acquaintance of 
the dear children aud young people 
who attend Sunday-school. The 
Sunday-school exercises over, I an- 
nounced services lor seven - F. M. 
Though the weather was extremely 
cold, we had a splendid- congregation, 
a pleasant service, because the poople 
gave such kind attention to my iutro-. 
duetory sermon. By request I opened 
the doors of the church, and Dr. 
Guthrie, the leading physician of our 
town, gave me his hand as an applicant 
for church membership. Tims God 
lias begun the good work of tiie year. 
I say yood trunk, because I fully expect 
his blessing among us. We will lie in 
the parsonage in a few days, so in the 
course of a few weeks I hope to give 
you ajeport from all tlio poliits in thb

I Hiring the twenty-four years ho 
labored in Texas thousands were added 
to tljenhurch under his ministry. Hue 
year I remember lie reported about 
five hundred members received. He 
was decidedly a revivalist preacher; 
seemed n.ever so happy as when he saw 
the power of God manifested in the 
awakening nnd conversion of sinners ; 
to this end lie ceased not to labor night 
and day. His sermons were plain and 
pointed; liis exhortations such as 
i moved the hearts of his congregations. 

| He could relate stirring incidents 
| which had occurred under his own ob- 
j servation, and in the history of others, 
with pathos, which would awaken the 
tenderest emotions in the hearts of ids 
audience. He possessed power ami 
eloquence in prayer iu an eminent de- 
gree; with strong voice ho would im- 
plore tiie mercies mid blessings of 
Heaven; Jacob like, lie would not be 
satisfied until tiie Lord would bear, 
answer and Ideas. Withdut favoring 
himself in the least, liis almost unceas- 
ing labors superinduced a brojiehlal 
Rll'oiition, of which lie died. He was 
takeii sick while preaching, on the 
fourth Sunday in February, lb7(t, was 
hardly able to reach ids home, ami died, 
surrounded hy his sorrowing family, 
in* Harrison county, Texas, March 8, 
18711. 

The same precious promises he lKad 
so long and zealously quoted from tiie 
sacred Scriptures for the encourage- 
ment of the people of God lie was en- 
abled, by faith, to appropriate to him- 
self iu the dying-liour. lie was con- 
scious to the last, and talked sweetly of 
heaven. \A neat marble slab, with a 
suitable inscription, marks tlio place 
where his body will repose till awaked

leaving her husband, three little cldl- I

How short Her life! Twenly-tyvo

had many friends who will grieve to .

that her last end was peaceful ami lull

against the hand of -death, she’ w as ap-

if we did not know that God can not

that our loved friend should (lie in tiie

that insanity is a disease of the so-, called

therefore the accepted opinion ol recent

The apostle, being released from 
prison, beat no liurriod re! feat from 
Philippi, bilt retired in good order 
from this stronghold as one who was 
abundantly able to remain. He bade 
farewell to Lydia and bis other con- 
verts, and, leaving Timothy end Luke 
to carry on the work, ho pushed on 
with Silas to the capital of Macedonia. 
The apostles made little halt, probably 
not more than a night at each town.

on a plane where the prlnclplea of this 
kingdom add the decrees of their King 
would clash with those of Home. 
These magistrates, no doubt, saw the 
malice of those accusations, but they 
feared the Jews; so they chose a middle 
course by putting Jason under bond to 
answer for the future goocTbehavior of 
his guests. On the evdillng of the 
tumult the brethren sent Paul unto 
Berea. No doubt they thought there 
was no hope at .present for Paul to 
preach unmolested. Here, the preach- 
ers met a better reception. Tho pooplo 
gladly gave them a straightforward and 
generous hearing, which wbb free from 
prejudice They did hot reject the gos- 
pel because 11 contradicted their formor 
opinions, noir did they receive it with 
blind credulity or the love of novelty, 
but they tried it well by the light of 
their Scriptures. Therefore, says the 
apostle, many bolloved ; faith's search 
was followed by its proper reward. 
Keek and ye shall find. Tills consti- 
tuted the nobility of these people. The 
truth of the gospel is addressed to the 
conscience which it alfects as irresist- 
ably sh axiomatic truth does (.he Intel- 
lect, but human nature la so at enmity 
to gospel truth that It resists and sup- 
presses what It feels to be true in its 
conscience, and thus holds down the 
truth in unrighteousness. I’ubelief of 
the truth is the most ignoble act of 
which mortal mail Is capable; it is no 
loss than the power to keep God out of 
his life; but God reserves to himself 
against this unbelief or this power to 
not believe what God and Conscience 
.seals, the power to keep you out of his 
life; yes, out of hebven. But this little 
respite from preaching to hard hearts 
and resisting wills was soon ended. 
Again malice prevailed, and the devil 
had his way for awhile. The Jews of 
Thessalonica., heard that l’aul was 
preaching the word at Borea, and they 
came thither also and'stirred upQhe

makes provision for them In ’case we 
are called away. 

01 what a consolation it musi-ba-to 
the dying Itinerant to feel and know 
that there Is some provision made foru 


his wife and children when he is gone. 
So far so good, bjut I do not like the 


sixty days’ limit, or the condition on 
which we are to retain onr member- 
ship. You know, Mr. Kditor, that 
many of our brethren have to travel 
poor circuits and missions, and some 
of them hardly see five dollars during 
thirty. or sixty days in, the summer 
months, and, if they are so fortunate as 
to get that amount, it would be a sin to 
send it off to any one, no matter how 
worthy. So you see the sixty days’ 
limit will place it out of reach of a great 
many of our worthy brethren, and then 
their wives will be deprived " of the 
sympathy and help of the brotherhood. 
Is this right? I hope the brethren 
will substitute for sixty days the next 
-following Annual Conference, I think 
that will do as well, for many would be 
able and willing to pay at any time of 
the year, and that would relieve the 
family till', Conference, and then all 
could pay ; - hardly any brother that 
could not at the close of the year save 
up live or ten dollars, as the case might 
be, to pay his assessment to the broth- 
erhood, and let a failure then forfeit 
his membership. I hope to hear the 
views ol' the brethren on the subject.

In South Carolina prohibition candi-

Michigan taxes the liquor maker $500

$500, and imposes also many restric- 
tions and liabilities on the traffic In 
these firewaters of'death. 

Nebraska has stringent laws on the 
saleof intoxicating drinks that amount 
almost to prohibition. 

Oregon is also after the liquor aellera 
with severe exactions and penalties. 

Ohio is all aflame for prohibition, aa 
everybody knows.

liquor traffic.

eo^lesiastical organization, and dwell 


Social reform is progress. Moral re- 
form is progress. Religious reform is 
progress. All of those are progress in 
the right direction. The angel, “ Hying 
through the midst of heaven, having 
the everlasting gospel to preach unto 
them that dwell on the earth,” is the 
great means, appointed by God, for the 
enlightening, elevating anil Having 
humanity from sin, misery, degrada- 
tion and ruin ; but, then, that angel has 
a handmaid that deserves our occa- 
sional, favorable notice, and that hand- 
maid is the temperance reformation. 

All along the line, from Maine to 
Mexico, there is a waking up to the 
evils of intoxicating drinks, and even 
Canada- has a local optlbh la tv on this 
subject. All of the Unitod States have 
legislated In favor of the sale of alco- 
holic drinks, granting licenses to sell 
them, and the money lovers have 
availed themselves of this privilege, 




they were seeing more clearly the vast 
extent of their work; it seemed to be 
his plan to plant the seed of the gospel 
In great and populous centers, from 
which the truth might spread out to 
places around. His first considerable 
halt was at this capital, where resided 
the Roman governor, which was famed 
for its commercial enterprise. Ah his 
invariable custom was, he first pro- 
claimed his message to the Jews, 
“opening and alleging that Christ 
must needs have suffered and risen 
again from the dead, and that this 
Jesus whom 1 preach unto you is 
Christ.” 

First. He argued from the Scriptures 
that Christ, the promised Messiah of 
the Old Testament, was to suffer ac- 
cording to appointment of God, to die 
and to rise from the dead. Secondly. 
That all these requirements had been 
fulfilled in the viim Jotyis, consequent- 
ly he was the Messiah. This -was his 
argument to the jews, but.it Beamed to 
be equally adapted to the Gentile bear- 
era, for the report of .that meeting was 
that some of the Jews believed and 
consorted with Paul and Silas, but of 
devout Greeks— that is, Gentiles who 
attended this Jewish preaching — a 
great multitude, and of the chief 
women— that is, the women of nobility 
—not a few. The. women were attracted 
Ui the gospel by its high morality, for 
the women of these ancient cities were 
the largest sufferers from the profli- 
gacy of the tiineH. The success of the 
gOBpel among the Gentiles moved the 
Jews to envy. To counteract the in- 
fluence of the gospel, the unbelievjng 
Jews consorted together with certain 
lewd fellowH, ol me baser sort, and 
gathered a company and set the city in 
an uproar, and assaulted the house of 
Jasou, where tlie disciples wero lodg- 
ing. Tne devil has a company of this 
Bort organize i in every town or city 
where the gospel comes, made of the 
loungers aiid hrnls, which are the pest 
of every place; who will not work and 
are rc-aily for any deviltry that unprin- 
cipled men may set them to. There ia 
generally about Home renegade from 
the church ready to take cotiimaud of 
this squad of mischief makers. But 
not finding Paul and Silas at the house, 
they took .1 vsou and certain other 
brethren who were there and drew 
them before the rulers of the city-, cry- 
ing: “These 1 that have turned the 
world upside down are come hUber 
•lao, and this Jason lodges them, and 
these all do contrary to the decrees of 
Caesar, saying there is another King —

the least to the greatest, will be 
weighed and valued, and it will be 
manifested that one can not truthfully

Mr. Editor: I notice a controversy 
that is going on in a secular paper, in 
the bounds of the Mississippi Confer- 
ence, in regard to union Sunday- 
schools. It appears that the preacher 
in chargo proposed to organize a 
Sunday-school, according to the law of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 
in a community whore a union school 
had long existed. He met with strong 
opposition, even from members of his 
own church. 

Now, leaving out nil-questions of'ex- 
pediency, let ns see what is required of 
the preacher In charge by the law of 
the church which he ia tinder the 
strongest moral obligation to obey. In 
the DiBcipliue (edition ol 1882, U\ye find 
the following'; ^ 

Section 5— Of Sunday-schools.' * 
Question 104. What directions shnlj 
be given concerning Sunday-schools? 

Answer 1. Let Sunday-schools he 
formed in all our congregations where 
ten. persons can be collected for that 
purpose. * * * * 

Ans. 2, Let all Sunday-schools con- 
nected with our congregations be un- 
der the;control of our own church, and 
let them use our own catechism, 
question-books and periodical litera- 
ture. ■hey* 

Ans. 4. It shall be the duty of the 
preacher in charge , * * * to be pres- 
ent in all the Sunday-schools in his 
charge as often as practicable, to cate- 
chise the children, to preach to them aB 
often as convenient, to exhort them to 
ettend-regiilarly -upon, divine. service, 
to look after tkeir/fijpftitnal welfare as a 
part, of his regular pastoral charge and 
ta see that they are instructed in 
the doctrines and usages of our 
church. - * ■ * * 

Although tho union school may be a 
good one, and be acceptable to all de- 
nominations, still it is the solemn duty 
of the preacher in charge to organize 
one if he can find the required number, 
He has no discretion, lie must act. 
If the parents will not allow their chil- 
dren to attend the Methodist school, 
and he shall fall, then he has done all 
ue could and is not f o blame.

It is not becoming in us to undertake 
to eulogize our church ; as a Christian 
denomination we should be content 
witli the application of the rule: “Y’e 
shall know them by their fruits.” If 
the movement which has produced 
what we soo in the year 1881 ia worthy 
of praise let it come from others, not 
ourselves. The living Methodism of 
to-day noeda no laudation, gnd if it

In KattBaH such have beeii’the efforts 
and expenditures of the whisky forces 
that the prohibition law haa been near-

the friends of temperance have renewed 
their efforts. Thus tho tight goes on, 
the rural' districts mostly being the 
first to onlist under the temperance 
banner. 

In this warfare our weapons, aro not 
carnal; they are prayer to God, moral 
suasion and our votes. We have no 
disposition to drift the subject iRto 
politics, but if sometimes It does so we 
can not holp it. Any way, we are tired 
of being ruled over by rum. By 
preaching, by lecturing, by temper- 
ance associations, by voting, by some 
means we must conquer this evil, ami, 
by the blessing of God, we can do It.

HOLLOMAN— Mrs. Mary E. Hol- 
loman, the daughter of Mr/Tlmmas L. 
anti Mrs. II. E. HollidajY of Madison 
county, Miss., was born Docember I, 
1851 ; ’was graduated at Sharon Female 
ollego in 1871 ; became the wife of 
Rev. T. 11. Holloman, February 5, 1874; 
was the mother of Hevon children— four 
boys and three girls, and died In Yazoo 
City. Miss., Docember 28, 1882. 

Of her early life none can know, save 
the strfckeh ones who called her daugh- 
ter and tenderly watched lta sweet buil- 
ding. It was in the school-room that I 
ilrat had opportunity to aludy her char- 
acter as she studied books, and to fore- 
cast such a life for her as hers has been— 
life whose watchword was truth anti 
whose motive power was duty. Of the 
hundreds whom I have taught she was 
one of, perhaps, a dozen of whom I can 
Hay, that atrno-ttme HtiTing.a -daily- As- 
sociation with them in the Hchool-room 
for years could 1 have found an excuse, 
had I ever sought one, for reproving 
them. As a pupil, she was a model of 
propriety in hII things. In these Bohool 
days sprang up that attachment between 
Mollie Holliday (for so we called her) 
and Thomas Holloman, then also my 
pupil - beloved, which, leading to no 
noglect of duty nor indiscretion of con- 
duct, resulted, when each waH prepared 
for so important a step, in a marriage 
which was truly a uniting of hearts and 
a blending of lives. 

Ot this united life It was ray privilege 
to catch glimpses in my periodical visits 
as presiding elder to their parsonage 
home. I found SiHter Holloman iu the 
sacred position of wife, mother and 
partner in an itinerant's lot what I ex 
pected— pationt, firm, prayerful and 
true. All! who can fathom the deso- 
lateness of that parsonage now, or 
measure the agony of one heart, as the 
pitiful crleH df the little ones for mother

DICKINSON— Buo. John P. Dick- 
inson was born iu the State of North 
Carolina, 181(1 ; ntovod to tho Stato of 
Florida, 1839; was married to MissG. 
A. Edwards in the year 1850; moved to 
Madison county. Miss., 1857; soon after 
settled himself on what may be known 
now as Cedar Ridge, in sight of old 
Pearl River Academy (now Pearl River 
Church.) where he lived to the day 
of his death, which occurred January 
11, 1884, alter a painful sufi'ering'. of 
seven days of pneumonia. 

Bro. Dickinson was a good and true' 
man. He possessed a warm and genial 
spirit and was generous and kind. Ue 
had Lite respect, confidence and esteem 
of all liis neighbors and all who knew 
him. He was u faithful, tender hus- 
band, an affectionate father, a neighbor 
iu the true sense of the term. He had 
but few, il any, enemies’; nevef have I 
beard any one speak aught against him. 
lie was soundly converted to God at a 
camp meeting ’iu Florida, 1847. Ue at 
once united himself with the Methodist 
Episcopal Church, South, of which he 
lived a consistent member to tlie day 
of his death, holding the position ol 
class leader, steward and trustee the 
greater part of IiIh Christian lifo. He 
was placed on committees, and coun- 
selled in all church work. 

In his sickness lie seemed to heap- 
prised of liis approaching entj ami talked 
calmly of death. lie said to his weep-: 
lug wife: ”1 would like to stay, but 
am willing to go. I am ready, ready, 
ready; my JeatiB is with me.” This 
was hiH'lust exjiression. Thus he died 
as ho had llvBii. Though we deplore 
his death, we sorrow not as those who 
have no hope, for he diod with, a bright 
hope of a blessed immortality beyond 
the grave. 

In tbe midst of many weeping friends 
we j laced his body in the tomb in the 
old graveyard at Pearl River Church, 
where ho HleepH beside Bro. Lambuth 
(father* of the missionary) and many 
others of his old friends as a fit subjeot

Methodism is putting on new life 
in London, the great metropolis of 
its early triumphs. The following, 
from the Christian World, will he 
read with Special interest hy those 
who are studying the adaptability of 
our system to city work : 

lie'v. Hindi Price Hughes eontrili- 
' u tea a paper to the Pall Mall (lazette, 

which forms one of a series entitled 

“Centres of Spiritual Activity. 

Mr Hughes more especially directs 
his remarks to the work carried on 
iii dinned ion with the Harry Hoad 
Church, Peckham-rye. I util quite 
recent years, lie begins hy saying, 
London was the grave of Methodism. 
In all London In lsfil we had only 
slx'een substantial chapels to receive 
the 1 ni migrants from the provinces. 
In 1801 we awoke to the fact that we 
were losing thousands of our people. 
The Metropolitan Chapel Building 
Fund was started. The late Sir T. 
Lycett gave it an immense stimulus 
with his gift of jCofl.OOOW'A'nd now we 
no longer come to Loudou-to he com- 
fortably aud usefully— but from a 
Methodist point of view undesirably 
—buried Since 1881 we have built 
in London sixty-four sanctuaries to 
aceommodatC'not less than one thou- 
sand persons each, and' ninety -seven 
■ smaller places of worship, at an ag- 
gregate cost of ecoo.opoi 


I)r. Buckley, of the New York Ad- 
vocate, according to premise, rises tf> 
further expKm his speech in the 
(ieneral Missionary Committee, 
which was the subject of m uncom- 
ment and criticism. He denied the 
correctness of the .published reports 
of his address, and claimed to have a 
verbatim report of what he did say, 
which consumed forty minutes in its 
delivery, and which would in good 
time be given to the public. In last 
week’s issue he prints two columns 
aud a half, hut very little of the 
speech is reproduced. Most of the 
space is occupied with observations 
and-explaBatioiiH. W e like the tem- 
per of his editorial, hut for a thor- 
ough appreciation of the question at. 
issue would much prefer to read the 
verbatim report entire. Even with 
all of his explanations we must be- 
lieve that the eloquent editor harm- 
fully and misleadingly characterized 
our church. What he may have 
heard of. exceptional instances in a 
few local societies did not type the 
spirit and life of the church, nnd 


This character of faith is a grace 
much to lie desired, and is often tile 
burden of apostolic prayer. Haul and 
Veter both sought to attain It as a 
height worthy of all enterprise and a 
possession of richest value. M e are 
encouraged, therefore, to study it 
and to strive f<?r its .attainment. 
Unfeigned is a strikingly descriptive 
word, and expresses the character 
ratlier than the dcyrcc of faith—. 
Christian graces are generally deter- 
mined aud valued by < jualit y instead 
of quantity— by purity rather than 
mere hull-. Tilings spiritual are not 
measured by their gravity or exten- 
sion. They have no troy or gvoir- 
dupois weight nor metes aud bounds 
marked by linear feet or surveyor’s 
chain. Our Lord always discounted 
mere size and numbers in his esti- 
mate of spiritual graces and achieve- 
ments. He sought out an unarmed 
shepherd lad to meet and conquer 
the armored aud mighty giant or 
PlTlliBtitt. With a little baud of only 
three hundred, Gideon routed a great 
army. And the promise to-day to 
the militant church is, that "one 
shall chase a thousand' and two put 
ten thousand to lliglit.” 

Yet faith has its degrees. Our 
Lord spoke of a “ little faith,” to re- 
buke It, and of a “great faith” to 
conserve and applaud it. There are 
undoubtedly differences, of attain- 
ment. But Christian graces, in their 
strength and efficiency, are in exact- 
ratio with their purity. It is its 
character 'that makes faith “great” 
or “little.” With every element of 
alloy eliminated, by whatever pro- 
cess may he employed in the myste- 
rious chemistry of Providence, faith 
becomes stronger. The lire that 
purities, strengthens. In other 
words, it is the quality, of faith that 
determines its mightiness. When 
all impurities are expelled all weak- 
ness is gone. A pure faith is omnipo- 
tent. 

No one word is so descriptive and 
suggestive of this grace in Its rarest 
anil most radiant character as the 
word “unfeigned." Not feigned is 
opposed to a mere semblance or pre- 
teuse of a thing or a line of conduct. 
8o that unfeigned faith is a real, sin- 
cere faith without guise, fabrication 
or semblance. It responds with ac- 
curacy aud fidelity to-every Scrip- 
ture characteristic and requirement. 


tachtnent for a well-grounded faith, 
that could not be shaken. But, ulas ! 
how Hitter was the revelation of Ill's- 
weakness. We must guard against 
a mere semblance, and pray mightily 
for a faitli unfeigned. It was of such 
a grace our Lord spoke when he 
said : “ I have not found so great 
faith, no not in Israel. ”

It is not a seeming or a shadow, but 
a substance and conscious infallible 
evidence. 

Now., a little observation and spir- 
itual discernment will convince us 
that such a grace is hy no means a 
universal possession. There is much 
of mere semblauce among, the Lord’s 
disciples. That is countei^a cardinal

gument. And as the doctor disclaims 
the slightest purpose of intimating 
that these eases described the church 
in general, we will just set them 
down to mere' buncombe, thrown in 
to spice a rattling speech. 

Gambling "for a Small Consideration,’ 

The City Item is waging a com- 
mendable and manly war against 
the gambling dens of New Orleans 
That such houses are licensed and 
the fund used for a public charity is 
a municipal disgrace. It is making 
merchandise of vice and dignifying 
it in some weak mimis by allowing 
it to become the patron of an alms- 
house. The Item has been publish- 
ing a Beriea of interviews witli promi- 
nent citizens of the various callings 
ami professions, as to theiropinious 
of the crying aud growing evil, and 
some possible, feasible rehiedy. The 
most remarkable of expressions pub- 
lished is from Archbishop Leray. He 
heartily approved the work . of re- 
form, condemned gambling in the 
strongest terms, but spotted it all by 
the following statement, which we 
reproduce from the Item: 

“ I myself,” said his grace, smil- 
ing, “know something of euchre 
aud would not object to playing a 
game in a family or at a soeiul gat tier- 
ing, lint not in public, for a small 
. consideration ; hut I would condemn 
playing for money in such amounts 
as would embarrass the loser. Inno- 
cent pastimes are good for botli body 
aud soul, and I aiu not so strict as 
one would think 
So, then, according to this high 
Romish authority, it i» the amount 
of the htril.r, and not the act itself, 
that is wrong. If you eau only keep 
within hounds, so as not to “embar- 
rass the loser,” gambling is an "in- 
nocent pastime.” Such a deliverance 
from u gospel minister— an Arch- 
bishop of supposed learning and 
piety— a viear-generat and infallible 
expounder of the- word of God— 1 h 
. shocking U> tlie most obtuse moral 
sense, to say nothing of .intelligent 
Christian sentiment. His grace sim- 
ply condemns the social evil as any 
observant man apprehends it, but of 
the inherent sin of the act he seouis 
to be str-augi'ly ignorant. If Arch- 
bishops do upt object to card-play lug 
“ for a small consideration,” what 
may w* not expect of the “faithful. " 
If these things are done in the green 
’ tree what will be dope in the dryr 


lacks the transparency and consist- 
ent reality of truth. It aeemeth right, 
but is realty wrong. Sometimes a 
suggestion to the mind, more or less 
detained and entertained, is mis- 
taken for a settled religious convic- 
tion. A mere plausible sentiment is 
made to wear the aspect and mien of 
a Christian grace. This is a shrewd, 
subtle device of the evil one to de- 
ceive with fair spiritual guise when 
every other agency has failed of its 
purpose. • 

A feigned faith is not a'rare spirit- 
ual exhibition. It bearB a striking 
resemblance to the reality, but lacks 
its inward life and sturdy strength. 
An illustration or two will suffice for 
a clear and most important discrim- 
ination. 

Some great calamity has befallen a 
disciple— a loss of fortune or a sore 
domestic bereavement. In the pres- 
ence of the dreadful misfortune and 
with an overwhelming sense of abso- 
lute helplessness— no possible hope 
of recovering or recalling that which 
is gone— there is a forced yielding to 
the Inevitable, which is mistaken for 
the resignation of faith. There is no 
looking toGod for comfort and recog- 
nition of his Lordship over the living 
aijd the dead, hut an acceptance of a 
sorrowful fact which could not be 
averted or remedied. Now, an un- 
feigned faith would say : "My Lord 
has permitted this sad experience. I 
can not as yet understand all its 
meaning; but he is too wise tp err 
and too good to be unkind. I there- 
fore recognize his hand, and yield to 
his guiding love.” It takes but little 
discernment to discover the differ- 
ence, between the two characters. 
The one Is cold calculation, the other 
the humble, lpvlug resignation of 
faitli unfeigned. 

Again, around some great truth, as 
the in Unite efficacy of the atone- 
ment, t lie virtue of prayer or the law 
of the Babbatli, thought and feeling 
may have gathered. We may have 
supposed that they had become 
supreme and precious objects of faith. 
That they were the clear and settled 
convictions of t,he soul. Hut when a 
time of trial cornea— when special 
prayer is needed anil must be ottered 
—when the power of our religion is 
to be tested— we discover that our 
purposed faitli was but a sentiment. 
Buch was Peter's experience. He 
'uirsfook personai admiration and ;at- 


Whlle we are arranging to cele- 
brate the centennial of organic 
American Methodism our brethren 
across the sen will also have a {Icu- 
tenary. Theirs occurs on the twenty- 
eighth of t,his month, ours on Christ- 
mas day. We will honor like events 
the legal, permanent organic estab- 
lishment of Methodism in England 
and America. Dr. Whitehead, in 
his Life of Wesley, well says that 
the year 1784 .was “ the graiyl climac- 
teric year of Methodism.” In that 
year the famous Deed of Declaration 
was 'adopted anil enrolled— “ Meth- 
odism’s Magna Charta ’’—Bishops 
were ordained for America and the 
Methodist Episcopal Church was 
formally organized. On the twenty- 
eighth of February, 1784, Mr. Wesley 
executed , the Deed of Declaration, 
which, a few days thereafter, was 
enrolled in the high court of chan- 
cery'. The execution of that instru- 
ment gave Methodism a distinct 
ecclesiastical existence. The event 
is to be appropriately celebrated on 
Thursday of next week in old City 
Hoad Chapel, London. As they have 
just raised a thauksgivihg fund of 
£202,000, nearly a million and a half 
of dollars, the meetings will he social 
and historical, without any effort to 
secure a monumental offering of any 
kind. Before the adoption of the 
Deed of Declaration all property was 
held in Wesley’s own name, and he 
alone could determine who and what 
were to preach and he preached in 
the chapel pulpits. At his death his 
brother, Cbades, could exercise the 
same prerogatfy^B ; or if his decease 
occurred before William Grimshaw 
lie should succeed. When the three 
had died the chapels were to be held 
in trust for the preachers who should 
be appointed by 'the Yearly Confer- 
ence, provided they preached no 
gther doctrines than those contained 
in Wesley’s Notes on the New Testa- 
ment, anil bis four volumes of ser- 
mons. 

This Deed of Declaration invested

liave no disposition to bandy epithets 
with anybody. 1 But we might ques- 
tion the sanity of a Christian writer 
wljo would misdate our position as

two evangelical axioms in the 
language of Fletcher: 1. "All our 
salvation is of, God, by free grace, 
through the alone merits of l lirist. 
And 2. All our damnation is of our- 
Belves, through our avoidable un- 
faithfulness." 

Now, does that look anything like 
the ridicule of the Record? 

Wfe believe tilt; Scriptures teach a 
conditional salvation— and the con- 
ditions are, repentance toward God 
and faith in our Lord Jesus .Christ. 
Now, if man ,has nothing to do with 
the acceptance or rejection of these 
conditions, they are utterly mean- 
ingless, as are all the exhortations to 
repentance found in the word of 
God. If the Record believes in 
an unconditional necessitated salva- 
tion, we ask attention to tlie follow- 
ing formulation of his creed: "Hie 
sum. of all is this; one in twenty 
(suppose) of mankind are elected , 
nineteen in twenty are reprobated. 
Tlie elect shall tie saved," do what 
they will; tlie reprobate shall he

tion, and became a serious crisis in 
the history of the great movement. 
But at length the excitement passed 
off with the loss of five prominent 
preachers. As we gave the leading 
features of the Deed of Declaration 
some time ago they need not.now be 
repeated. This should he a year of 
Methodist historical study. Let this 
great event, with its associations and 
consequences, be carefully studied 

Landmark Logic. 


From an editorial article in a late 
issue of the Baptist Record we make 
the following extract : 

Methodists hold, in short, that sal 
vation is a co-operative work, a part 
being of man aud a part of God. Re- 
generation is not »“ sovereign act of 
God.,’' but a co-operative work. Rap' 
tints have written many foolish 
things beyond question, hut we 
never knew auy folly equal to sup 
poslhg tnat a man could co-operate 
In his own creation, for it is said we 
are created anew in Christ Jesus. 
Again, we aie “born of God.” “of 
the Spirit. ” Theological folly has 
reached its greatest height when 
men are represented as co-operating 
with God ill their own new birth. 
When men are seen to he their own 
fathers, such ideas may he tolerated 
"outside an insaue asylum. 

Nothing is gained by unfair or ex- 
treme statement. It lias little effect 
in convincing an opponent, anil puts 
dangerous weapons in the pandit of 
unskilled friends. Here the Baptist 
editor defines the Methodist position 
on "regeneration” and “salvattoUfP 
aud then pronounces it the “ height ” 
of" theological folly,” and that such 
ideas are not to be tolerated “ outside 
an insane asylum.” ,We humbly 
submit that such a characterization 
of a large boify of Christians, of equal 
plety/witb the editor and bis church, 
aud as zealous in good works,, is 
more curt than courteous. But if all 
who subscribe to the Arrulnian 
theory of salvation are only fit for 
the wards of an asylum, the question 
is where will they find house-room 
and who are tune enough to put 
them in? Burely our Baptist brother 
would not undertake tlie kind office. 
Tiiat man shows a lamentable igno- 
rance of theological history who has 
not noted the decline of Calvinism 
aud the corresponding growth of 
AnnlnlanlBtti. Nor In this the deeln-

John Wesley, p»id more toll-gate 
and ferriage fees than any man in 
England. First on horseback, ami 
later ill life by carriage, he journeyed 
incessantly live thousand .miles a 
year defiant of weather. To save 
time and to carry on ids work lie 
rehil as lie rode along, and, thus 
reading, became acquainted with 
and digested and criticized more 
hooks than men who pass for great 
readers get through with in the quiet 

retreat of a library. We have many 
incidents hy the way, hik! where 
occurred, which lie had the humor to 
enjoy and the leisure to record. The 
following, otherwise than grave, are 
picked out of tlie journal, covering no 
long space of time : 

I explained, nt Chelsea, the nature 
and necessity of tlie new birth. One 
(who I afterwurd heard was a dis- 
senting teacher) asked me when I 
had done, “ Quid cut tibi nomtn?" 
And, on my not answering, turned 
in triumph to his, companions, and 
said : “Ay, 1 told you lie did not un- 
derstand Latin !” 

A gentleman came to me full of 
good will, to exhort me not to leave 
the church ; or (which was the same 
thing in Ids account) to use extem- 
porary grayer, which, said lie, “I 
will prove to a demonstration to he 
mo -prayer at-all— For you-oan -not-ilu 
two. thinks at once. But thinking 
how to pray and praying ure two 
tilings. F.ryo , you can not both 
think arid pray at o rifle." Now, may 
it not lie proved hy tlie self-same 
demonstration that praying bv a 
form is no prayer at all? c </.: “You 
can rn^Ldo two things at once. But 
reading and praying are two things 
Eryo, you' can not both read and 
pray at once.”— Q. E. D. 

Between Doncaster and Epworth 
I overtook one who immediately ac- 
costed me witti so many aud so in - 
pertinent questions that I was quite 
amazed. In the midst of some of 
them, concerning my travels and 
my journey, I interrupted him, and 
asked: “Are you aware that we are 
on a longer journey ; that we are 
traveling toward eternity?” He re- 
plied instantly : “O! I find you! I 
find you! I know where you are! 

Is not your name Wesley? ’Tin 
pity! ’Tis great pity ? Why could 
not your father's religion Hcrve 
you • Why must yOu iiave a new re- 
ligion?” if was going to reply, hut 
he cut me "short by crying out in 
triumph : “ I Bin a Christian ! I am 
a Christian! I am a churchman ! I 
am u, churchman! I am none of 
your CulamitcH ;” as plain US' 1 tie 
could speak, for lie was so drunk he 
could hut just keep his seat. Having 
then clearly won the day, or, as Ills 
phrase whs,, “put them all down," 
he began kicking ills horse on both 
sides, and rode off as fast as lie could 
I wash deal red to call upon Mr. 
Walker. " the pillar of the church ” 
in these purls. As soon us 1 mine in 
lie fell upon me witli might and 
main for saying "People might 
know their Hins were forgiven,” and 
brought a great hook to confute me 
at once. 1 asked if if was tlie Bible, 
and, upon his answering "no,” In- 
quired no further, but laid it quietly 
down. 

The" next afternoon I stopped a lit- 
tle at Newport Paguell, aud then 
rode on till I overtook a serious man, 
with whom I immediately fell into 
conversation. He presently gave me 
to know what. his- opinions were; 
therefore I said nothing to contradict 
them. But thut did not content 
him; lie was quite uneasy to know 
whether I held tlie doctrine of the 
decrees, us he did; hut I told him 
oVer and overt "We had better keep 
to practical things, lest we 'should tie 
augry at one another.” Aud ho we 
did for two miles, till lie caught me 
unawares, and dragged me into Die 
dispute before I knew where 1 was. 
He then grew warmer unit warmer, 
told me I was rotten at heart, anil 
supposed I was due of John Wesley’s 
followers. 1 told him: “No, I uiu 
John Wesley himself.” Upon which 
he would gladly huve rau away out- 
right. Bui, tieiug the better mounted

After a Hundred Years. 

HY IllsHOr I’AUKKR. • 

It is a time for reflection as well as 
for action. A time not merely for an 
array (if statistics, hut for tlie consid- 
eration of principles. The period id 
long enough to warrant conclusions 
and settled convictions. Episcopal 
Methodism, after a century of proba- 
tion, may now he regarded .as re- 
ceived into full connection. A cen- 
tury is not much in the lifetime of a 
church, but it is sufficient to estab- 
lish its claims as a legitimate branch 
of thealsterhood. As among Meth- 
odists, tills probation has vindicated 
whatever may be regarded as dis- 
tinctive ill our organization and doc- 
trines. 

The itinerancy lias been tested 
most thoroughly. It has been main- 
tained with vigor unimpaired since 
the date of the Christmas Confer- 
ence. It was goothin the- beginning, 
as a great revival movement, and as 
the” only effective means of giving 
the gospel to the peoplfl in a new 
country, and In the sparsely settled 
frontiers. That it would meet the 
changed conditions of society, and 
prosper in the midst of wealth, jiutel- 
ligence, and settled and prosperous 
and refined communities, remained 
to he seen. The itinerant ministry 
stjll lives, and has shown itself to be, 
on tlie whole, a system of incompar- 
able power, and adapted to all eir- 
cniiistances anil all times. 

. The episcopal feature has its chief 
Illustration and trial in our branch 
of Methodism. Except in tlie time 
limit of tlie pastorate— a limit first 
introduced in 1804— the prerogatives 
of tlie Bishops have not been touch- 
ed. Tlie authority in making ap- 
pointments is the same now as to tlie 
days of Asbtiry. Serious agitations, 
aud considerable secessions, have 
Occurred In connection witli this 
feature of our episcopacy, notably in 
1702 and 1S2S. Bdt since the 1 latter 
date t li ere seems to have been general 
acquiescence. The “itinerant gen- 
eral superintendency,” with its func- 
tions and prerogatives, lias stood the 
test of the century. It has (Turing 
this period passed "through the 
severest ordeals; it has been fiercely 
aB-ailed, sifted, debated, and, after 
periods of tempest aud storm, it re- 
mains intact, and more heartily and 
generally accepted than ever. After 
a hundred years, Episcopal Method- 
ism thrives marvellously, and has 
very far outstripped all other mem- 
bers of the Methodist family, Tlie 
century lias delivered its testimony 
for the episcopacy. If any features 
of Methodism could have been re- 
garded as tentative a century ago, 
they were tlie itinerancy and the 
episcopacy. They have been subject- 
ed to every conceivable strain, and, 
"In unbroken vigor, they remain . 


The Methodist Discipline, for sub- 
stance, including the General Rules, 
and articles of, religion, is un- 
changed. Tlie experience of a .cen- 
tury lias added little, and nothing 
essential has been taken away. The 
book has grown in elaborate details, 
aud provisions in regard to jurispru- 
dence and tlie temporal economy. 
Additional sections have been added, 
as the enterprise of the church lias 
developed the interests of Sunday- 
schools, education, missions, church 
extension. Lay representation in the 
Aunual uud General Conference lias 
been introduced. But the Discipline 
of 1784, in essentials, was the same as 
tlie Discipline of to-day, Among 
other tiling's, the Discipline has been 
on trial for a hundred years, and the 
rules, doctrines aud economy iiave 
couie through the ordeal unimpaired, 
unchanged. ■ 

Tlie usages peculiar to Methodism, 
and file means and expression of its 
life, in the days of the fathers, sur- 
vive. The love-feast is maintained 
in its primitive frequency and power, 
the claHs meeting, less prosperous, is 
still kept. up, aud in many charges 
flourishes, and the old MethodiHt 
altar, and attendant, exercises, are 
familiar to our people. If there has 
been a decline in vital power, these 
usages and expedients still stand as 
among tlie recognized means and 
exponents of our church life. Their 
mission for good is still manihst. 
The emphatic lesson of a hundred 
years is thut they are still needed, 
and us essential to tlie spirituality of 
tlie church, as at any time in its past 
history. It Is now sufficiently 
demonstrated that they were not 
merely Culled to meet an emergency 
in tlie beginning of a great religious 
revival, but' that they are essential to 
tlie permanent and organized form 
of the life and spirituality of Hie 
church. 

Methodist preaching had a distinc- 
tive type a hundred yeurs ago. Mure 
than in any oilier, the doctrines of 
an unlimited utoneuient, free grace, 
tlie witness of the Bpirit, l ompl, te 
salvation from sin, and immediate 
conversion were proclaimed. The 
polemical element iH Iras prominent 
now, but the doctrines and expe- 
rlenise^irSlTie^rntt^Here and there 
lere in a manifest straining after 
| novel awl i| u usual duiurliial 


Hons and statements. A morbid ami 
restless tendency, ami even clamor, 
for new ways of apprehending and 
presenting old truths are occasional- 
ly manifest. There is peril in this 
direction, but as yet the old and din- 
tinctive type of Methodist preaching 
holds its place. The atonement as 
substitutional, conversion as an im- 
mediate and mighty change to be 
fejt, the witness of the Bpirit as a 
real and persoual assurance, ami the 
blood of Christ as cleansing from all 
sin, are the staple of our preaching. 

TIHb preaching lias been crowned 
with a century of wonderful success, 
and, as to doctrine and manner, it ie 
vindicated, as of. God. As a type, 
Methodist preaching — preaching 
without manuscript, doctrinal, 
direct, hortatory and earnest— is the 
.preaijliiHg for all time. It has im- 
pressed ahil molded the successful 
preaching of all the churches for 
generations. To preach “like, a « 
Methodist ,f is a way other churches 
now have of praising their minis- 
ters. 

After a hundred years, then, Epis 
copal Methodism commends itself to 
Methodists, at least, as a most satis 
factory form of doctrine and polity. 
Those without have come to thick 
well of it, under the irresistable com- 
pulsion of historical demonstration. 

It is no lohger on probation, In an 
uncertain altitude toward the world 
and toward its own children. It 
mu*t be accepted as thoroughly test- 
ed, as possessing all the attributes of 
a Christian church, and as’inore suc- 
cessful in winning souls Ilian any 
other since tlie days of tlie apostles. 
This period of trial has placed the • 
seai of truth upon the system. Its 
capabilities are shown, and its doc- 
trines and polity ure permanent. 
Methodism is iu the world to stay. 

Tlie only question for anxious 
thought concerns our church life. 
The past makes us hopeful for the 
future. Will the spirituality of 
Methodism endure? From worldli- 
ness, lax discipline, and a decline of 
heroism in the ministry, there is 
perhaps some apparent deterioration. 
As the world advances in wealth, 
education and geneial material pros- 
perity, new aud more severe comli- 
.tions arise to test the spirituality of a 
church. Borne of these elements 
have been met in the. past, but tlie 
near future will disclose them-more 
fully. It will especially test the doc- 
trine and the experience. The dan- 
ger is, that while the form may sur- 
vive, the power will he hut a tradi- 
tion of the past. A spiritual minis- 
try, converted preachers, imbued 
with the spirit of self-denial, and 
having an experience'to tell as well 
as a doctrine to expound, is of first 
importance. And, next to this, we 
must be careful to keep up those 
■gfeat ’nnrgeries rif -spirituality; the 
-love-feast, the class meeting aud 
family prayer. 

Besides the argument of hope 
which this centennial delivers, it 
comes to us also with the voice of ad 
monition. It should be art awaken- 
ing appeal. We should he jealous 
especially of our spirituality. If 
there he any symptoms of decline, if 
the tendency to worldiiness- be evi- 
dent, we must return to the simplic- 
ity and fervor of our fathers. Ttyefe 
in abundant occasion for thanksgiv- 
ing, but reason also for searching of 
heart. The century of Methodism 
commits to us, upon whom tlie ends 
of tlie world are come, a priceless in: 
herltance. How to be faithful to so 
great a trust should he our prayerful 
and anxious study. 


—We are indebted to our excellent 
confrere of tlie Arkansas Methodist 
for a graceful and grateful mention 
of this Advocate— its past. and its 
present, 

—The Centenary medal of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church", South, 
will bear Bishop Anbury's face on 
one side uud Bishop Pierce’s, or the 
senior Bishop in 1884, on the other 
side. l)r Lovick Pierce, the Bishop's 
father, was born in 1785, only a year 
after the organization of American 
Methodism in' 1784. These two lives 
thus span the ceptury. 

—A great revival lias been in prog- 
ress among our churches in Mem- 
phis. The Rev. B. P. Jones, of 
Georgia, did the preaching, and all 
the pastors co-operated heartily ami 
methodistically. About four bun 
dred have been converted in addition 
to many renewals of covenant vows 
ami awakenings of sleepy con- 
sciences. We are grateful for this 
outpouring— a good begiuuilig for 
the new year’s work.

On a I it Cushion.— T o make a very 
pretty and durable one, make your 
cushion to lit your chair, set a piece ill 
all the way around tho samo as a feather 
bed is made. Take the common blue 
and white bed ticking, cut a piece to lit 
the tip, the stripes to run from front to 
back of chair, and tho piece that goes 
around, the stripes to run around. 
Then take any colored zephyrs and 
work the brier or feather stitch in each 
white strip. If you have done much 
fancy work you may have bits of 
. zephyr, if you pnly have enough for 
_ona stripe of a kind it will- do, aillf 
arrange to suit your taste, they are very 
pretty and a great many do uni know 
what it is made of until they exainino 
it. I put a fancy cord in where the 
two pieces nre pul together. It makes 
pretty tidies also.

Mii Editor: I have determined to 
, , .„' v hoart enjoy itself during this 
rantehnial yoar. I must have a caro, 
however, lest I feel as David did when 
h« ordered the numbering of Israel— 
"],o»d us not into temptation,” O 

1 ,'hh always been a glorious wonder 
. ,no that there was so much room in 
hnHkv ; the largest suns and systems 
ovo'in It without colliding. .So there 
much space for the movement of the 
areal churches of l’rotestant Christen- 
dom; a'" 1 they all go fo make up the 
common glory ot the Kingdom of our 
lord. But at thlB instant we have our 
I alass upon. one orb In the system of the 
saviour, our own Methodist Church.

Btinounced itself far in advance liy a 
| 00( | of rich light ; but the grandeur of 
its movement was not to be conceived 
until the disc entered the field of the 
lens. No language can adequately de- 
, pr jbo the strength and momentum 
I with which it forged its way across the 
Iravkless ether, or the sustained force of 
the movement through the patiiB of 
iiisco, wltbout\ hesitation, or descend- 
mg or ascending attraction, but right 

on, -So the an stained, movement of thiH 
nno brunch of the Christian Church 
through the full period of 100 yoars 
specially commands our admiration. 

Hu 'rely hod must bo in it. His fingers, 
that made the heavens and ordained tho 
moon must have framed this living 
cburi-h. " 

That the Dean of Westminster did so 
far recognize tho abiding strength of 
H,e Wesleyans as to admit into that 
venernhlo Mausoleum of Kings, two 
tablets, hi lidnor of John and Cliarles 
Wesley, may bo Sol down us at least 
{some tribute to the wortli of the ser- 
vants of God and to the strength of their

I puce happened to see the grand 
ourtef Florence, where marble statues 
f classic mold stood around, commem- 
orating the graud Italians, A morions 
fespuoitis, Christopher Columbus, 
Jlchael Angelo, Jtafael, Tasso, Dante, 
'esmo.and others, and felt the insplra- 
ion of the awe of this grand assouiblago 
of historic characters. May we not 
Ope some day to see in this country 
liveilcd full size statues to the memory 
f the, Wesleys nnd Wbitetleld. Coke

Dean Stanley might well slfcrd to set 
Inwn John Wesley as among the great 
rlaglishmen, when tlie Ktnpire of 
itethodlsni is as populous as that oftlio 
'glands of Great Uritain, and its extent 
■nvers ti space extending quite around 
lie world. This breadtli of Methodism 
as foreshadowed in Mr. Wesley's per- 
ouiil experience. He was awakened 
si the Atlantic, convicted' in America, 
mi converted ill Condon. 

When lie was converted in Alders- 
ate Street on tho tilth of May, 17.88, at a 
1'iarter before it o'clock at night, it was 
hiring the reading nf Luther's preface 
o the Romans, whore lie describes tho 
liange which God works in the heart 
hruugh failli In Christ ; but. was the 
mliug In Geruian..pr Knglisli? It was 
Moravian (Society ; so probable he 
ras converted -in German. 

Ills doctrine wrs broadly suited to 
:ie people. It represented religion an 
Joyful portion. Mr. Wesley had been 
,n aseptic, and tho change wrought in 
im by its pulse of joy was tho more 
larked. The common view that rolig- 
iii at its best was a sepulchral coudi- 
imi, pallid, it inoveiueot to tha dead 
mrcli, and Hlirouded in advance with 
is sadness ol the dying; thiH all re- 
feive.i a hoalthy revulsion in ttio songs 
tui sliouts and vitality of a religion 
ist Iraimliitnd men from the “power of 
arkness into the Kingdom of God's* 
ii that was rather like a company 
.voting people on the wav to a mar- 
ine slipper adorned witb grace and 
Il'Oiimltng in joy. Religion became 
[ttrsetive by reason of the beauty of tho 
|ariiients of salvation, and as of a bride 
luriieil for her husband, 
it brought not only joy, but a swift 
'list from tho oppressive weight of a 
mliy conscience. Tho burdens of the 
ill were filing down at the foot of the 
»ss, under the inspiring truth that 
ml justifies the ungodly, in 
"lit when the repenting s' 
aves tlie fact that “Christ dn 
ilgodly," 

This joyfulneHadifirused ilsulftl. .. i- 
nt the societies of Mr. Wesley, it was 
'rever fixed in the poetry of Charles 
'(*sley, which constituted their hymns; 
id in tlie cheerfulness of both tlie 
'bit and the countenance of Joint 
ssley. Horace Walpole noticed this 
preaslnn in Mr. Wesley’s face. And 
cjiuld it lie otlierwise under the 
"ar announcement .ot that sublime 
ork of the Holy "Ghost— . I nede heart

Aiiob* Boys.— S ome ono lias snid 
that every imy Is, by naturo, a llttlo 
barbarian. Supposing it to ho true, the 
difleronce bbtween the ill bred boy Is 
so noticeable that we must conclude 
that he is quite capable, at least, of be- 
coming civilized. 

Not long ago I aeeoptod an Invitation 
to visit an old schoolmate who had five 
boys, whose ages rangod from four to 
fourteen. They were bright, wide 
awake. nnd thoroughly boyish, but I 
was impreHBed at once with a well bred 
air about them which made them very 
agreeable. 

Of courso they plied me with ques- 
tions from morning until night, and 
woaried.me sometimes with .their noise; 
for how could five boys exist and be 
quiet? But they wore never rude or 
disrespectful, and the very youngeBt, If 
he chanced to jdstlo my chair in his 
play, or stepped upon my dress, would 
■ay, “ Kxouse me, nnnty," as naturally 
as tho older ones. Ifthey rushed into 
the house to rnako some request of 
tholr mother, their hats came off as if 
by instinct, and they were.nover caught 
saying “yes” or "no” or “wlmt" to 
those older than thomsolvos. ,1 watch- 
ed them at meals, where good manners 
sro pretty sevorolv tested, even in 
grown people, and I found Shat there, 


as elsewhere, a few things were pleas- 
antly but. firmly insisted upon, Mach 
one was taught to carry his food to his 
mouth with a fork or spoon, and not 
one left the table without asking to be 
oxcusedf-or thought of asking until Ilia 
knife and fork wore placed in order 
upon his nlate, his napkin folded. Now 
I know, by sad experience, that it is 
not an easy matter to train the average 
boy- to observe even such simple rulos 
as these, but will it not pay In the end ? 
When he reach'es the age of young 
manhood will lie not have cause Tor 
congratulation that he was not left to 
grow up awkward, uncultivated and 
ignorant of the rules of good breeding? 

Two hoys wore walking homo from 
school one day when they met a lady 
who bowed vory pleasantly to one of 
them. 

“ Who was that lady?” inquired the 
other hoy. , 

“Oh! that was my mother,” was the 
reply. 

“ Well ! I think you are a funnv bby 
not to tako off yopr hat to yodr 
mother,” exclaimed the first speaker. 

Funny or not funny, it indicated the 
training of tlie two lads. 

No hoy will take kindly to wearing a 
straight jacket, and it is hotter to insist 
upon a few thingH which are essential 
than to have a groat many rules that 
are in danger of being constantly viola- 
ted. Especially do we want to guard 
against making the hoys feel uncom- 
fortable at home. The family sitting 
room, with its warm fire, cheery light 
and ample table, around which ' they 
can gather with tholr books and games 
duringthe long wintorovenifigs, should 
lie to thorn tlie most attractive place iu 
the world. Here will bo found , many 
an opportunity to leach them to lie 
polito and kind to each other, and when 
they go out into tho world they will

God's 1’iiomisf.h.— S ome people say, 
Do, wo know wo are saved, Localise 
we are so happy." It ia by no means a 
sure evidence, for joy may l^e carnal, 
unfounded, unBpirittinl. Certain Chris- 
tiana are afraid that they can not he in 
a saved state because they are not joy- 
ous, but are saved by faith and not by 
joy. I was struck with the remark of 
Ebenezer Krakine when he was dying, 
and some ono aaitl to him; "I hope you 
have now and then a blink to hear tip 
your spirit under aitllctlon he 
promptly replied, “ I know more of 
words than of blinks thst is to say, 
ho had rather trust a promise of God 
than his own glimpses of heaven ; and 
so would I. The Word of God is a 
inoresure testimony to the soul than 
all the raptures a man can feel. I 
would sooner walk in the dark, and 
hold to a promise of my God, than 
trtiBt in the light of the brightest day 
that ever dawned. Precious as tho 
fruit is, do not put tlie trult where tlie 
root should tie. Please to recollect 
that. Joy is not the" root of grace in 
the soul ; it is tlie fruit, and must not 
bo put out of its proper position.— 
Spurgeon, . , - 

I ntku.kstino Statistics,— A writer 
in tlie Condon Lancet gives the follow- 
ing statistics of travel : Of 1,. 668,644 per- 
sons who left Europe for New York 
between 1870 and 1880, 2,618 died in 
transit, the average duration of passage 
being 13 days and 12 hours. Ol 14,874 
persons who embarked on 16 ships in 
laso, 87 died. One ship, carrying 1,381 
emigrants, lost 18 in the course of a 16 
day's voyage. All were submitted to 
medical examination and passed as 
health v at the atart. Tho figures seem 
to show that In crossing tho ocean a 
man is about a hundred times more 
likely to lose his life by disease than 
by shipwreck. ^ 

Life is not all sunshine. It has its 
dark and gloomy days, when the mind 
needH something moro than appear- 
ances to sustain it. Even good men 
sometimes walk in darkness and have 
no light. But at such times it is their 
privilege to trust in tlie Lord and stay 
themselves upon the Most High. They 
must then, in a peculiar manner, walk 
by faith ami not by sight. They must 
endure as soaing him who ia invisible. 
•Nothing but the assurance of the divine 
favor can sustain tlie mind iu the dark, 
anil cloudy day.— Mothodlst Recorder. 

VVe muat keep always in view the 
fact that giving is a part of Christianity. 
There is no such tiling as Christianity 
without benevolence. It is said that in 
Assam and Japan the converts puy 
more. for Christian purposes than they 
did for heathen ; and it is believed that 
Christians in heathen lands are more 
benevolent titan those in our own coun- 
try. Koine of our people need quicken- 
ing in tills matter. “ Ye aro not your 
own." " Htewards ol the Lord.” Let 
every Christian seefthal his pookot 1 b 
converted as well as his heart. — Do-

has killed them all. and entirely removed three. In 
caae of splint 1 find it has no equal, one case I had 
woh of three year* standing and the aviu Cure re-

entirely cured her. um> year ago a two hundred 
pound bloi-k of ice fell out of a wagon atriking my 
fool on instep and toes. It would be impossible t<> 
masli a foot woiee without .breaking any bone*. I 
was taken home and carried into the bouse. I do 
not think amputation of the leg would cause any 
more pain. I went for Kendall’* Spavin Cure, it waa 
all I used and in *lx days 1 could walk around. 
About three weeks ago iny team ran away and threw 
me out of the wagon, the hind w heel struck my knee. 
ARer applying several highly recommended lini- 
ment* without obtaining any relief. I went for Ken-

This House in tlie past has had great w 
trouble. Five years ago its existence 
| was threatened by a debt ol over $350,- ”> 
000 running at a high rate of interest. 

Its operations were crippled for the t< 
want of ail active capital sulliclent ito. B 
furnish what was needed for the 11 
Church. But its members and friends u 
responded promptly to the bond scheme J 
by which the debt was placed on a 
basis of 4 per cent, bonds maturing in t 
forty years, and have given a liberal ( 
patronage which lias enabled the House, | 
during a period of tlve years, to pay , 
every expense in any manner connected | 
with its business, and from its earnings 
to retire more than $200,000 of the debt ^ 
of 1S78. No better demonstration is j 
needed to show the necessity of such ail ! 
institution. 

During these years the House lias 1 
built up a business which is supporting 
it handsomely, and is satisfactory to its 
customers. Almost every day the 
larger circulation ofr the Christian 
Advocate and other periodicals reaches 
new communities and brings us new 
customers, and as a consequence each 
season gives it a better business. 

We make tio appeal to tho Church to 
come to the rescue of the House. It is 
j I11 no danger bo long as '.its natural 
customers can procure what Muiy-want 
from it at a fair price. It has passed 
“the crisis, and has a capital sufficient to

CADI. AT ATHENS. 

Onr lesson to-day lias a classic setting 
which would draw us away from the 
preacher’s words, and cause us to miss 
the great issues of this wonderful dis- 
burse pronounced upon this oncasion. 

So we will take the picture out of its 
frame and Btrnly it as a pure work of 
the mighty gospel, Like a skilled 
master of assemblies Paul liegius with 
a courteous word of praise, aud at once 
gains the attentive hearing of his au- 
dlonco. V : mon of Athens, I perceive 
in everything I see around me that you 
are a deeply religious people. I recog- 
nise by your many altars to the deities 
. yon worship that yon believe in pow- 
er* abovo your own, and that you con- 
fess your dependence upon them. 

He etarla his dis discourse from a 
point of agreement with his hearers, 
and. along this conciliatory line he ad- 
vances as fat as lie can. You have al- 
tars of wood and stone, of gold and 
ivory, of exquisite workmanship, some 
devoted to lust and folly; but some- 
thing better met his eye— an altar with 
this inscription : “ To the unknown 
God." tie makes no inquiry as to who 
this deity might be, but Bimply takes 
the inscription as his text, and upon 
the wise and skillful ground that “ this 
lniorlpllou is proof t.iat your spirits 
have pot fouud rest iu worshiping 
these many deities," and that, having 
done all in your power to llnd out the 
trne worship, this altar is confession of 
yonr failure, and that you are still in 
darkness, but I will Supply a Name lor 
your an inymous altar, of One who can 
give you rest. Like.lhe Bible begins, 
so Paul strikes with bis drsl sentence 
against Pantheism. God that made the 
world and all things therein. By faith 
I understand how the world was 
framed by the word of God. This die 
•oorse is unlike any other of Paul. 
Hie subject is not Jet u», tbe Messiah, 
but the one (rue and living God, in op- 
position to the mateiialistio and pan- 
theistic polytheism of tbe Greeks, 
which subverted all true religion. Up 
does not come wjtli epee ill ali m on this 
profound subject, of wbioh they had 
enough, but with authoritative an 
nouucement of him alter whom they 
had been groping, not giving him any 
name, however, nor even naming the 
Saviour himself, tint unfolding the 
true character of both, us they wore 
able to receive it. To dissipate the 
dark ness of their religious conception 
which could make no distinction be- 
tween God and the universe he had 
created, he sets out with a sharp state- 
ment of the creation aud God’s per- 
sonal agency, ss being the central 
principle and tint foundation of all true 
religion, which is no less needed now, 
against the transcendental ideal lam of 
eur day. He puts worship on the 
right footing. *■ .Seeing that he ia Lord 
of heaven pud earl S, and dwelleth not 
in' temples ma le with men’s hands," 
holding in free and absolute subjection 
ali the works of his hands, presiding in 
aagu.t royalty over them aa well as 
pervading them all ss the principle of 
their being. How different was this 
from the blind late or force to which 
all oresLuroa were regarded aa in bond- 
age. liow strange and startling these 
familiar truths to tills heathen au- 
dience, and how sharply it detined the 
spirituality of that living personal God 
whom he sets forth, it la not because 
God can not ifo without our worship, 
nor becauss be wants our semes, but 
beoause we want God. The glver of all 
surely can not be dependent upon the 
receivers of ail for anything, in this 
eousideraliun he founds true worship. 
These Athenians, hy their Intercourse 
With ali nations, aud the .rise of his- 
torical writers iu their midst, who had 
p ashed their resear eh throaghuat ail 




habitable regions, had brought them- | 
selves In contact with the farthest ends 
of the earth, accordingly the apostle 
declares to their astonished oars that 
all these nations, so widely differing 
in customs and mannors and appear- 
ance, aroyet the work of this almighty 
Creator, and were not alioii and in- 
ferior in nature to themselves. Ho an- 
nounces t lio life-stream of the whole 
human race to he onri, flawing from 
one source; "ye aro all brethren." 
Not only an, hut each nation and each 
man is tinder his care, and he hath de- 
termined before and appointed the 
times of each, 'wlien they shall be born, 
when they shall <116, and places where 
they shall dwell. There )h no' blind 
chance but ho created them, and hath 
appointed their hounds that they 
might seek after him and love him and 
trust him. This is the high end of all 
these arrangements of' Divine power, 
wisdom and lovq, If happily they 
might feel after him, as men groping 
thelr'way in thodark,a lively pioturo 
of the murky atmosphere of natural 
ri 'gion, and find him. The difficulty 
of ffriding God outside the pale of re- 
vealod religion lies not in his distance 
■ from us, hut in our distance from him, 
through the blinding effect of sin. 
They sought in vain, for blindness had 
fallen Qti them. The fault was ih them, 
for God remained close by them and 
changed not. l’aul has asserted the 
majesty and supremacy of God, and hy 
a quick turn, with a quotation from 
one of their own poets, asserts the dig- 
nity of man as 'being the offspring of 
God, aud therefore the life that ani- 
mates man is the divine principle by 
which God himself exists. He shows 
the unworthiness and falsehood of the 
Kpeourian creed, and the unreason- 
ableness of their idolatrous worship of 
images, and condemns all attempts to 
visibly present »n invisible God. He 
announces that a new era has dawned, 
and with it a new responsibility ; that 
God up to this had borne vyith this 
ignorance without interposing to pun- 
ish it, but now commands all men,- 
everywhere, to repent, not only in the 
narrow precincts of favored Judaism, 
where repentance had alwaya been 
urged and demanded, but everywhere, 
and as an incentive to Immediate re- 
pentance and a seal to this pre-emptory 
c'tpmand he announces o dag of ac- 
counts, appointed whoroin lie shall 
judge the world i,n righteousness, and 
this judgment shall be carried on by a 
Man , tho proof of whose authority is 
that God has raised him from tho dead. 
When they hoard of the resurrection of 
the dead some mocked, others said we 
will hear thee again of this matter; aii 
idle compliment to Paul and an opiate 
to their own conscience, suoh as we 
often meet in our day, who fear to heBr 
more lest they should he oonstrained to 
believe unwelcome truths. Ho Paul 
departed from amoug them. Not long 
alter he writes of the gospel that to the 
Greeks it wav foolishness.

The Origin o&the Baptist Church, 


the leadership of jienno. Schyn, \ho ; 
Mennonlte historian, ami many other 
writers, deny that the Mennonitos do- 
sceoded from the Anabaptists. As for 
the Waldenses, Peter Waldo started 
that sofct In the twelfth century— A. D. 
IlkO. Ho if all tho facts were as stated 
by Hr, Gtaves, his church can not get 
in three liundred yoars of the apostolic 
age. • 

The true' genoology of the BaptlNt 
Church Ih better traced on an other 
line. Dr. Graves says Hogor Williams, 
the Uhode Island Baptist, “was not a 
Baptist.. Ho was never connected with 
auy Baptist Church, nor any Baptist 
Church connected with him.” Dr. . 
Graves says also that Smyth, the Ger- 
man Baptist, “ was not a Baptist.” lie 
was a Munstuite. 

If Dr. Graves wero to tell the Men-, 
nonltes that “in later times” they 
wore the vantlng fanatics called 11 Ana- 
baptists in the fourth century " the re- 
ply would be that given by Coote in 
his MoBhelme, viz.: “The Mennonites 
oppose with all their might the account 
thoir desoent from the anaient Ana- 
baptists, which we And in so many 
writers,” page 495. That the reador 
may see for himself, and make his own 
comparisons, I quote a paragraph 
which shows conclusively that Hie 
doctrine and practices of the Baptist 
Church are quite different from those 
of the Mennonites. 

“That species of Anabaptism with 
which we are charged exists no longer, 
nor has it happened during the space 
of many years that any person pro-, 
fessing Christianity, of whatever 
church or sect he may have been, arid 
who had been previously, baptized ac- 
cordingto the commandment of Christ, 
has been rebaptized upon his entering 
into our communion.”— Mosheime, 
revised by Coote, pigo 490. 

The words, “according to the com- 
mend incut of Christ,” are exptalaed to 
mean not in infaucy. This fully ap- 
pears from the words “of whatevor 
church or sect ho may liavo been.” 
For, accordiug to Dr, Graves, none aro 
baptized “according to the command- 
ment, of-Christ" except such as are 
baptized into his church. 

In the fourth oentury we find a sect 
called Anabaptists. The Mennotiifes 
began to exist as au organized sect-.un, 
der Simon Menno in the fifteenth cen- 
tury. At the same time, in the same 
country, and up*\o the seventeenth 
century, the Anabaptists and Menno- 
nites existed side by Bide, and in deter- 
mined conflict. The Waldenses never 
had an existence till the latter part of 
the twelfth century, say about A. I). 
1180. Sowe-Hee Anabaptists, Menno- 
nites and Waldenses existing all at tbe 
same time, in the same country, as late 
SB the seventeenth century. Where 
was Dr. Graves’ church in the seven- 
teenth century T It was in its down, 
just hatnliod out of a Monnonito egg, 
under the Waldenses, and here is the 
table of descent:

The reason why we are so often sur- 


77ir Church of God. 


prftod at the utterances of certain men 
in certain places may possibly be found 
in the fact that we, as peace-loving 
people, suffer suoh statemeuta to go 
unrebuked, or, if rebuked at all, it too 
often happens in the way of a sneer at 
what seems to us too absurd to talk 
ubout, but which, uerert leless, is uot 
so absurd to those who know no better 
than who have tried to learn that way. 
Dr. Graves makes a quotation, not 
relevant, liowevor, and then adds: 
“This carries the succession of Baptists 
back to the year A. D. 225;” but does 
not tell us where the Baptists were 
during that two hundred and twenty- 
five years. To bofster up his assertions 
as to the appstolio origin of his church, 
hequotes again : “The Douatists of the 
fourth and seventh centuries. Baptists 
do olairn them as their ecclesiastical 
ancestors.” Still he does nbt tell us 
who were the “ecclesiastical ances- 
tors” of those Douatists. However, In 
the absenco of some bo ter proofs, he 
asserts that “ the Douatists of the 
fourth century were tho true oliureh of 
Christ.” But where thoy were during 
this two hundred and twenty-rive years 
he .does not tell us. Besides, if “the 
D matists of the fourth century wore 
the true church of Christ" it is certain 
that the Baptists wero not “ the true 
church of Christ,” even if there were 
any Baptists then.. This defect, how- 
ever, lie attempt# to supply by saying 
“the Knglish Baptists wero the Dona- 
tists new dipped.” This logic is 
seriously absurd. Tho “new” dip 
changed the “Donatisls” into “Bap- 
tists.” But how did the Donallsta 
come (into .existence, aud wheuT A 
controversy between the African and 
Numidian Bishops as to whether 
CeacileuBor Majorinua should be made 
a Bishop after the death of Meusurlus 
resulted in the Numidian Bishops 
electing Majorities. This was not till 
“tho fourth century,” ». o., A. D 311.^ 
This ia the how aud the when of the 
origin of the “ Don at is ts of the fourth 
oentury.” Mr. Graves says "the Eng- 
lish B splints wero the Douatists new 
dipped.” Ho Mr. Graves 'being the 
judge, the Baptists never had an exist- 
ence till the fourth century. This is a 
little nearer the truth than, wo usually 
get through Dr. Graves. 

Gnu more quotation mado by Dr. 
Graves: “We have now aoeu that the 
Baptists, who were formerly oall.d 
Anabaptists, and in- later limes Mcu- 
nomtea, were the original Waldenses.”

Mu. Editor! Tho doctrine that the 
nature which we receive by natural 
generation must receive Into it a nature 
orllfethatis divinely genorated.ls very 
rnrely called into question by any 
teacher of orthodox Christianity of the 
present day. Yet the clear, concise and 
unequivocal terms in which “Gilde- 
roy,” in yonr last Issue, under the 
head of “Caution and Exhortation,” * 
presents this great truth is well calcu- 
lated to coniirm even the doubtful. 
But in regard to the- direct or closo 
Issue between him and certain delin- 
quent teachers, who do not urge this 
necessity sufficiently upon little chil- 
dren whom they reoelve into the 
church, T can not say 1 that he 13 so suc- 
cessful. On the contrary, it appears to 
me, after some reflection, to be an open 
question whether the "mtiddle” f 8 
with him or the ptrtles whose opinion 
and practloe he so vigorously opposes. 
That this necessity, which he empha- 
sizes so well, has been met in the case 
of little children, through the gracious 
results of the atonement, is a belief not 
confined to a “certain class-of teach- 
ers,” but is very general in the church 
This, in my opinion, is the j^nly solid 
ground for infant salvation; I am 
aware thore are those who teach, upon 
what ground I can not sec, that it' is 
with those only, who die in infancy that 
this great work is accomplished. But, 
it seems to mo, this is too narrow and 
uncertain a basis for so great an inter- 
est to rest upo’h. If the living intant 
has not th.e principle and power of the 
divine life what assurance have we 
from Scripture or nature that it iH re- 
ceived in death? An assumption so 
eighty requites proof, and I have not 
seen or hoard of even an atfempt (o 
prove it. 

But let us notice this subject' as- pre- 
sented by “Gilderoy,.” He Bays 
Certain teachers are in a 'muddle 1 
as to whether there lias been n general 
justification from original guilt or a 
general regeneration of human nature, 
aud in shunning the Charybdis of Cal 
viuism they have gone dear over into 
Pelagianism.” Kurcly he does not 
mean that a belief iu a general regen- 
eration of tin man nature is Pelagianism 
or anything like it. IJelagins, il prop 
erly represented, believed that man is 
good by nature, rejected the doctrine 
of divine aid, or, if such aid is given, 
he held that it is external, or, at most, 
reaches only the understanding and 
never the will or affections. But this 
view not only recognizes the need of 
divine grace, or the reintrod.uctlon of 
spiritual life into the human, heart tint 
regards this necessity as so absolute, 
bo pressing upon every age, state and 
condition of life, that it can be tiie.t only 
In tho general, unconditional effects' of 
tho atonement. An absolute want Is 
met by an absolute remedy. In regard 
to the alternative, which he thinks 
puzzles these misguided teachers, he 
accepts the first part, as is evident from 
the following: “The guilt of original 
sin has, of course, been forgiven, and a 
way has been provided whereby the 
vile nature may be changed.” Let us 
Pharisees, i briefly, if we can, analyze this position.

plished and the other only provided 
for? I have been taught that justifie s-. | 
tiou and regeneration in tlie divine 
economy ual urally and invariably go 
together. That where there is no guilt 
there is nothing to debar the work of 
tho Holy Spirit. Again, does the 
atonement affect man only externally, 
doing a work for him, and not inter- 
nally; that is, nothing within him? 
Or, in other words, is hit* legal relation 
to his God unconditionally changed 
and his state or character untouched? 

If it be said that grace is secured by 
the atonement, I nsk what availH this 
unless the grace is imparted? And if 
it be said again that grace is imparted, 
hut not unto 'regeneration, I inquire 
again, what advantage is favor or 
virtue to the dead, spiritualty, if it falls 
short of giving life? And if this grace 
gives spiritual lire what is this lint re- 
generation? If this ia wrong term give 
iia another that will answer. I care 
not. All I insist, upon is that life, spir- 
itual hh well as temporal, Is primarily 
not au offer, hut a g fl. This is what 
the hook says, and 1 abide its teach- 
ing: “The gift of God is etern 1 life 
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” 
“This is the record, God hath gi via us 
eternal life, and this life is in Ills Hon.” 
in this connection . I must quote a Re- 
mark accredited to the discriminating 
mind of Bisliop Keener : "As.a fiian is 
born but once naturally so lie is borfk' 
but once spiritually." And I think ilie 
analogy can justly lie carried a liltle 
farther. As the voluntary aclivltita 
and responsibilities of natural lire can 
not precede but must succeed birth, no 
it is with spiritual life. There is no 
basis for spiritinfl action until there is 
spiritual lltri-a spiritual man. I can 
never forget the reply of a blunt man 
to an exhorlution “to tie iiorn again.” 
He said : “ It was hard enough to obey 
after one was born, to do so before was 
a little too early." I know there Is a 
period iu the history of most Ctiris- 
tlana, usually after repentance and 
ear i eat seeking, when they become 
more fully csnscions than ever before, 
and it may lie with soma tho first tiirio 
they realize it, of a state of favor ami

me, this is n rss/amatiun rattier than 
an introduction into the Christian life, 
a return of the “prodigal” to bis 
“father’s house” rather than the time 
of liis birth. Tho return is as impair-'

wa.H esteemed for her great gentlei'f^s 
of spirit and kindness of heart. Her 
piety was deep aud experimental ; her 
consecration to God thorough hid) 
abiding; As wife, mother and friend'’ 
she was faithful and true. In all ihe 
relationships of life her daily example 
was a jiositive power for good. She 
had that rare combination— an aluiohi 
masculine strength of character with 
t he purest feminine tenderness of spirit, 
ller physical constitution was remark- 
ably strong and vigorous; but in the 
autumn of Isst year a fatal malady 
developed itself, which resulted in her 
death, January 2, 1884. 

During many weeks of intense suffer- 
ing she was sustained hy rut mrwayer- 
ing trust jn God. Khe spoke hopefully, 
even joyfully, of ber future' and im- 
mortal home ; and when the end caine, 
it was perfect peace. May the All- 
Father sustain and comfort the be- 
reaved. household !

The brother wlmso ohiiuary notice I

aud was a devoted husband, kind 
laihor and. an affei'tlonaie son and 
brother, a true fneml and a peaceable, 
iaw-aliiilliig citizen. I knew him from 
tho tenth tear of Iuh life, and loved him 
almost with the love of a father, lie 
seemed to con lido in mo, and often 
came to me for counsel, which was 
given cheerfully, believing that the 
counsel given would largely influence 
Ills conduct for good. I know well 
how much solicitude was loll for him 
by the dear mother who has been called 
upon lo surrender biiu to G.iil who 
gave him. Dear mother, your son and 
my brother lias passed over the river, 
Il may lie just lielore us. I,ot us m l 
lament liis absence nor grieve because

Sliced Pecpf.ii Pick li:.— R emove 
-he seeds from lsrge, green poppers, 
slice them, and lay them in a jar alter- 
nating each layer of peppers with 
.hopped cabbage, then cover witlj salt 
md let them stand over night. In tho 
morning drain oir the water. In suffi- 
cient vinegar to cover the pickle, put 
an ouqce each of black and white mus- 
tard seed, whole cloves and allspice, 
one-half o.unne of celery seed and one 
head of garlic. Let this come to a boil 
tnd pour it over the peppers. I J ack 
tightly in ajar cover with horse-radish 
teaves, and close up tightly. If you do 
not like much garlic skim il out* before 
pouring the vinegar over the pickle, or 
use a large onion instead.

small pieces, add four quarts water, 
half a pound of barley, two oniona.Tme 
carrot, some whole pepper and allspice, 
a blade of mace, twelve cloves, a little 
thyme and a hay leaf, aud the grisly 
parts cut off the head. All to simmer 
together before the head is added, then 
boil it until the meat will shake oif the 
bones. Take up the head and strain 
off the soup. Next day remove the fat 
and thicken with a little flour aud but- 
ter and browning ; add two tablespoon- 
fulaof catsup; cut part of the tnngue 
md jaws into small pieces, aud pul 
-hem into the tureen before dishing up 
-he soup. 


Indian Oakes— To make perfect 
Indian cakes use one piul of sour milk, 
one beaten egg, one small tablespoon- 
ful of light brown sugar, aud a tea- 
apoonful of salt. Stir in this a mixture 
oftwopartslndiaiime.il and one pari 
wheat Hour, until you have a stiff hat-

Corinth was a great commercial < ity, 
'tho meeting place of tlie old Kasmi) 
and Western worlds, famous equally 
for its wealth, its treasures of art ami 
its gross sensuality. This ancient town 
was destroyed li. C. 140, ami remained 
in ruins mill! iiiiiiis i\<i«er rofouadod

While there can nut to-day be found a

home and preparing tho 
inmates with grape of Christian hospi- 
tality which forgets not to entertain 
strangors. 

Not long after his sri ival Silas and 
Tiiiiniheus joined him, bringing him 
good news from the churches ho al- 
j 1 ready had planted. The apostle was 
mightily encouraged by this good news 
and coining of Ills helpers. His soul 
was inspired with a new lttipul.HU. a llo 
was pressed in spirit to greater exor- 
tion. 1 1 is previous preaching had boon, 
ho lo speak, int rod ucto.ry, jiut now ho 
comes to tlie essonco of ids teaohing.

ho me upon the eonsoienco of IiIh liear- 
drs that Jesus was Clirist. His impetu- 
ous gospp] i rresistalily overwhelmed 
liio conscipiico of liis Jewish hearers, 
and excited the deepest opposition of 
some, oven to the point of blasphemy, 
Haul aliocik Ids raiment and said: 
i eXon r blood lie upon your o.wn 
heads." 1 am elean, from henceforth i 
go unto the (ieidilcs. True to Ids 
word, 1’aul left oil' preaching in tho 
synagogue, and secured tho house of 
one Justus, which was hard by tho 
synagogue, ami there continued bis 
preaching., one of ids first convorts 
was no one loss than Criapus, the cldef 
rijler of t be synagogue, jogetber with 
his whole house, and many of tlie i 
Corinthian believed and wore bap- 
tised, Haul himself performing the, rite 
of baptism upon Criapus. It was tlie 
night of this day of great revivsl that 
the laird in a vision spoke to Haul: 

“ He not afraid, but apeak and hold not 
thy peace, for I am with thee, and no 
man shall sot on thee to hurt thee, for 
have much popple in this place." 
i .These signa.l successes wore stirring up 
Athens (tie wrath of the unbelieving Jhwh, and 
Mars' I tlie apostle feared that lie would "be 


to have a general overhauling, 
were notified to meet at tho church on 
a day appointed to investigate the sev- 
eral easos. Tho day came, and with it 
a large collection of people. Heaides 
those who were personally interested 
there were many others who. came out 
of curiosity, as spectators. Beginning 
with tlie cluHS-loador, I inquired if the 
members of tho church had anything 
against him. There wae nothing 
against him. He was regarded as a 
pious, consistent MethodlHt, anil Hulled 
to fill the office of olass-leador. After 
this the names wore cal lod as they ap- 
peared on the class paper. Some ex- 
pressed much surprise that their names 
on the register had been retained so 
long, had no Idea that they were con- 
sidered members of the church, and 
asked do be discontinued ; others ac 


work, otherwise the fault may bo in 
auxiliary treasurers in making romlt- 
t slices, reporting money on hand, to 
pastors, that has not been forwarded 
to the Conference treasurer. 

It is necessary that any misunder- 
standing he rectified, and I, therefore 
respectfully ask that, the proacherH 
who made reports of tlie woman’s, 
missionary work Ht Conference would 
trouble themselves enough to give mo 
some idea of the plan pursued.

him of the interest tlie Lord was taking

gospel of liis Son, lie had determined to

“ I thanked some brother to raise tlie

1 MU. Kiutou: l’onnit mo, through 
I the AnvocATK, to call tho attention of 
those concerned to an error in tlie 
printed Minutes, part 4 Stiitistioal and 
Financial. No credit is given Friar’s 
Folnt and Austin station for money for 
foreign missions, domestic missions, 
Conference or Bishop's fund, while wo 
paid for foreign missions, 543 40; for 
domestic, missions, ?18 65; for Confer- 
ence fund, f l ‘> : for support of Bishops, 
88. .The error is tlie more perplexing 
because the salary of the presiding 
older, tho preacher in charge and the 
money for church extension is as it 
should lie. Fortunately for me, the 
report which was presented to tlie sla 


soul-inspiring sorviee of song, and *ro- ; ^.^Ht lcwl secretary,, and which was read 
quested all lo hlng; and so it seemed : 
they did, Coming in one at a time and 
going out tlie same way. It really ap- 
peared that we were not Hinging “witli 


before tlie Conference, is In my pofflBH-' 
sion. This report, is now before me. 
The figures for Liio collections left 
blank in tlie published Minutes are 


greater shame, and their hatred grew tlie M’irlt, and with tho undeistandlng j j uhl HK j,i rt i n as tho oues given correct- 
” .... <' ri.iiii Hi ere was ” a fl istiniE ' . . , , , . ■ 


mr ' ever, to 

svery one that belleveth. In our lesson 
to-day Haul’s first visit lo Corinth is 
described, lie resided here eighteen 
months, supporting himself by Ii, 
trade of tent- tusking, and carrying oil 
his mission work every Sabbath day. 

A large Christian church was the result 
ef liis labors, Criapus, tlie ruler of the 
synagogue, being one of his converts. 
But within tlie next live years, Haul 
having left tho place, u variety of dis- 
orders arose. The converts Jwore 
divided into factions. Incestuous mar- 
riages, profanation of the holy commu- 
nion, spurious forms of Christian liber- 
ality lead some to tie present and par- 
taka of sacrifices to idols. Without 
making mention of these unnameable 
offenses, the Corinthians appear to 
have written to Haul consulting him 
on certain point* of church order and 
doctrine. This gave rise lo the Kpistle 
to the Corinthians, in wliich Halil 
answers the q iiesti ms sent him, and 
■ also reproved the spiritual corruptions 
ef tile church.' 

Tlie apostle's first home in Corinth 
was witli. a certain Jew, Aquila, born i 
in Hontus, lately come from Italy with j 
his wife, FrlacUla; like Haul, they) 
were exiles of the same nation and tho 
same craft. This fellow-feeling brought ! 
them together in tiiis strange city. W’e 
oan hardly say which of liio two were ■ 
moat lienefitted by Ibis meeting; Haul 
found a home and place where lie j 
might sustain himself by liis own 1 
laborH while lie pursued his mission, 
and this exiled family entertained ail 
angel unawares. Tho context leaves it 
•doubtful whether Aquila was already 
a Christian or no!, Imt it. seems almost 
sertain im was not. Luke Hpeaks of 
him as a certain Jew; had ho been a 
Christian ‘lie worn, I certainly have put 
it on re-eird, and lie accounts for liis 1 
being brought into fellowship witli | 
Paul not uy ids being a follow-believer, 
but a fellow*. craftsman. Happy exile 
for Aquila ami ins wife. Banished 
from the city of ail earthly emperor, 
they are permitted m bear part’ in 
founding too kingdom of heaven, fiod 
frequently drives his children b'y 
storms of persecution or by the winds 
of adversity fro, m their homes to the 
loneliness of the wilderness or desola- 
tion of a *t rmige city, that they may 
lend a helpful, hand in planting ins 
gospel on foreign shores and bo there 
ready to furnish a resting-place of 
affection and comfort to his iiiesBcngc-, 
coming depressed and weary from 
ether field* of labor. \Va suppose that 
Aquila and Hriaailla were Paul’s first 


into insurrection. Wlieii Oallio was 
proconsul utiderino Kmperor Claudius 
Tire Jews mado-inaurreulioUT- with- oho 


also.” True, there was “a fliating 
away,” but not on the right “tide of 
melody.” Since thftp,. M r‘. Kdltor, I 


ly. And I know tho money for- these 
blank collections was paid ovsr just as 


accord, against Haul, and brought him 
to tlie judgment seat. Their charge 
was “C-is fello w persuadeth men to 
worship contrary to the law.” A 
ciiargo false as it was malicious, and us 
old as Satan, of whom it whh inspired, 
that old trick of pitting one duty 
against another, our-duty to tlie king 
again.,; our duty to our (lod, making it 
to appear that they are in conflict, 
whereas the two being in different 
planea can not clash. Uallio saw how 
tlie case stood, and, without ovou call- 
ing on Haul for a defense, he con- 
temptuously drove them from tlie 
judgment seat as unworthy of his no- 
tice. The Gentiles liatod tlie Jews, 
and, seeing tlie rebuff wliich Gallio had 
given, took it as u token that he shared 
in their dislike. Ill a moment the 
fioklo crowd turned apon Nosthenes, 
tlie successor to Crispin, as ohiof ruler 
of tho synagogue, and baat him in the 
very presence of the judgment seat, 
and this Roman proconsul, sat by and 
winked at this summary disposal of 
Sosthenes. It seems that HjIb. expe- 
rience' disgusted Snsthonoa with tils 
Jewish connections, aiul turned him 
over to Haul’s side, for wo learn lie be- 
came a Christian after this. 


have not exhorted' ail 'to slllg. Heforr j 
dismissing the congregation I urged 
them to encourage their 1 nowly- 
apifcinted class-leader by giving him 
their regular attendance; Imt, aaid I, 
he can not hold his class meeting aiv 
cording to the custom of our church, ns 
tliere is no do*r which can lie closed. 
Here I was interrupted by i\ woman 
occupying a back seat, by her saying; 
“You are mistaken, sir; we have a 
door; all we want is a shutter." I 
thanked her, bowed politely, and ap- 
pointed a committee to make a idoor 
shutter and repair tlie chimney. After 
closing these interesting (?l services I 
walked four miles -with tlie new claas- . 
leader,' while liis wife and daughter ‘ 
rode my pacing Charlie, reaching thoir i 
home in time to have ready a good ! 
ohlckeu dinner for their preacher. Tlie I 
good sister remarked as I walkod up ' 
the steps : " lire, Moriy?, I don’t wish f 
you any liarin|, but I would like to own | 
that horse you call Charlie.” C'barlio 


reported. How or t wliv then 


fills is the M con'll time 1 


this 

have 


error 

been tho subject of such mistakes. In 
tho first instance I paid no attaiition to 
tlie matter, but this time I must pro- 
test. Our pooplo usually know tho 
amount of metiey collected for Hie 
different collections ordered by the 
Conference. The Discipline also makes 
it our duty to report the same to 'the 
Conference, and IhiH is just as it should 
bo. Now, after all of this, is not it too 
much to have to appear before the good 
people of piy former ciiargo in the 
light in which I stafid in tho published 
Minutes? Will not the editor of liio 
Minutes or tlie statistical secretary 
make tho necessary explanation? We 
shall see.

Mr. Kiiitoiu 111 my la, l 1 promised 
to give some account ot.’tho Wllkiuson 
circuit as I found it in year* past. 

Several appointments on this circuit 
were situated among a wealthy and in- 
telligent class of people, the land waa 
fertile and under a higli stale of culti- 
vation. lu our membership we had 
sorno wealthy plantera, who were lib- 
eral supporters of thw institutions of 
our chnreh; they certainly were nut 
wauling in the courtcalea of life and'lu 
generous hospitality. Ou that part of 
tlie circuit situated between Buffalo 
creek and Homooliltta river there were 
people not so well Informed, who cul- 
tivated less productive land and hud 
-less of material wealth. Many of thorn 
wofe good, honest citixeus and plena 
members of tlie church, always giving 
; their pastor a cordial reception. A few 
' cases I will refer to as exceptions to 
, tlie many of a widely different charac- 
ter. My first round on this part of the 
^ circuit was not devoid 'of Interest. 

, Macedonia came Aral in order, and, 

) like the place after which it was 
named, it needed help, not so much to 
add to their number as to work the

Woman 1 ! Work 


in the Mississippi Con- 
ference. 


Mu. F.nnon: My attention has been 
called to tho extended lucorrectnesB of 
the re mrts of tho Woman’s Missionary 
Society of tlie Mississippi Conference, | 
as recorded in tho copy of the Minutei 
for 1883. At tlie Conference for 18S2, 
held at Crystal (Springs, the suggestion 
made by some of tlie friends tq tho 
•ause, that the ladies bo allowed u col- 
umn in the Conference Minutes to re- 
port, in connection with tho Confer- 
onoe, was silenced Ity some vigorous 
apoeuhes. This year we were not a lit- 
tle surprised to find some relenting, 
and are puzaled to know from whence 
tire statistics were gathered. It is nec- 
essary that reports correspond, lest we 
reflect discredit upon our excellent 
treasurer, and be called to account by 
the executive committbe. Tho discrep- 


aurpriaed it many of our Methodists 
who never take a religious journal 
simply because they say they are too 
i pour. I have recently visited a poor 
! section, (?) and, to my surprise, (?) they 
| all had good clothes, plenty lo eat, 
plenty of mules, and starvation in tho 
“far distant.” Now, why don’t such 
I people, take oar papers? Hero and 
| there is a family supplied with some 
! Advocate, but tlie Majority havo no re- 
ligious paper at all. Now, what I want 
! to aav is this: Uan’tsome of our good 
; sisters take hold of this matter, sand 
. for specimen copica of the Auvijct •, 
and get subscribers in this way ? Who 
I will try ? 1 aia taking ths regular col- 

[ lections; have succeeded tolerably well 
so far with liio collection for foreign 
missions.

Prohibition in Mississippi, 

„ v 

From a lifelong residence in Mis- 
sissippi, aud a more or less careful 
observation of its current thought 
aud politieal history, we record with 
gratitude tlie fact tliat never before 
has there been such a pronQunced 
and growing sentiment in the State 
in favor of the legal suppression of 
tlie liquor tralTie. A decade ago the 
question was laughed down in tlie 
Legislature. Its few advocates aud 
friends were everywhere derided as 
fanatics and sentimentalists. But a 
change has been wrought. The pres- 
ent Legislature is largely prohibition 
in sentiment, albeit tlie loeul option 
measure did not pass. Its friends 
■were not sufficiently agreed about 
some minor provisions, and it was 
thought best not to urge its passage. 
But a number of entire counties 
have secured prohibitory laWH, to- 
gether with scores 1 of municipalities 
and supervisors’ districts. Twenty- 
two prohibitory bills' Were intro- 
duced one day. And-yet in faca of 
this advanced moral sentiment, 
little political newspaper brought 
out its rooster to crow a victory over 
prohibition, aud unotheiy'inserted 
the cut of a cotfin, to caricature its 
death. They are very^suggestivc and 
appropriate substitutes for argument. 
Whisky advocates are either us fool- 
ishly noisy as a rooster or as signifi- 
cantly silent as a cotfin. But tlie 
friendsXif morality ’can well afford 
Hueh/ridlcule. Every great reform 
lias thriven on Opposition and insult. 

eare battling for tlie home aguiust

Character of Gen. Gordon. 

- 

Just now tlie most conspicuous 
figure before the reading .world is 
Gen. Gordon and liis connection 
witli the war in Egypt, His career 
lias been singularly brilliant. He is 
(^escribed as being about fifty years 
old, slightly built, a little under tlie 
average height, quite youthful in np- 
pearance, light in liis step and lithe 
as a leopard in liis movements. His 
exceptional characteristic is a child- 
like simplicity of spirit and planners. 
Much lias been written about. *iiim 
and ills strange mission in tlie East, 
but nothing have we seen more dis- 
criminating and appreciative than 
an editorial article in tlie Irish 
Christian Advocate. We make a 
liberal extract : 

Tlie key to tlie character of Gor- 
don is his unfftltcrinff confidence in 
tied. This is" the .principle tliat lias 
dominated liis whole life; the as- 
aureil and unwaverin g conviction 
that an Almighty will directs ami 
an Almighty, arm protects him. It 
is tlie old story of the power of faith 
in God. He believes that nothing is 
accidental. In liis view men are 
only the Instruments of a higher 
power, who is unerring in his deci- 
sions and infinite in his might. No 
man, however rich, intellectual, in- 
fluential, or experienced in his own 
special position, is iu Ids view indis- 
pensable to tlie Slale or tlie church 
or the .community at large. In the 
midst of tremendous dilfieulties and 
perils, lie writes : " J Can not- tell you 
how happy and composed I feel in 
my sure refuge. No comfort is equal 
to tliat which he has who lias God 
for his stay." The burden of the 
cares of Ids governorship sat us a 
’feather upon him; because lie rolled 
it upon liis God. Often left to liis 
own personal resources, in tlie nddst 
of great perplexities and dangers, 
■but, with Providence to direct anil 
uphold him, lie trusted in the. Al- 
mighty, so as to fear nothing, aud to 
feel assured of success iu liis most 
arduous undertakings. 

Faith was Hie root from which 
sprung tlie distinguished traits of 
tlie general’s character. It was this 
which inspired tlie almost super- 
human eohrage which he so conspic- 
uously displayed on so many peril- 
ous occasions. Witness ids bravery 
in China, ids terrific onslaught oh 
tlie leaders of’ the slave trade, the 
slave hunter and the’ slave army iii 
the heart of Africa, tlie, suppression 
of six thousand, fierce Turks and 
Basld-Bazouks, liis scaling two 
tremendous mountains, reaching tlie 
lofty plateau, where the terrible 
Waled *1 Michael, tlie Abyssinian 
brigand chief, was entrenched witli 
seven thousand Freebooters, all arm- 
ed With muskets, and persuading tlie 
robber oldeltain to ask for pardon 
from the King of Abyssinia, against 
whom lie had rebelled, and the utter 
| overttirow of tlie brutal son of Sebe- 
i lier and liis army of incarnate fiends, 

I Aud add to all these illustrations of 


Bishop Parker contributes to tlie 
Texas Advocates most timely article 
on the proper improvement of Cen- 
tenary year. What lie says on the 
danger of deconueetlonalizlng the 
occasion is Worthy of careful consid- 
eration. Unless tliat point is guarded 
the spirit aud blessing of the move- 
ment will he dissipated, aud result 
in no permanent good. We have 
space left only for the following : 

Tlie collections directed to be taken 
for the three great objects, foreign 
missions, education and church ex- 
tension, should he obligatory upon 
all our preachers. These are to be 
the contributions especially on tlie 
Centenary day as fixed by each Con- 
ference, and they are to he distinct 
from (lie regular collection, and to 
he, as far as practicable, divested of a 
local character. The purpose is to 
raise a large general fund for these 
several objects, to be controlled nnd 
appropriated iu a eonnectional way, 
and on a scale worthy of the occasion 
and of tlie whole church. The riglit 
of donors to give specific directions 
to these contributions is conceded, 
tint it is not expected tliat all will be 
thus applied to merely local enter- 
prises. At tlie.end of the centennial 
year (here should be in. the hands of 
the Central Committee a great eo'n- 
liectional fund, to be appropriated to 
foreign missions, education and 
church extension. Amid tlie many 
pressing local demands tills feature 
of tlie Centenary collections is likely 
to.be overlooked. 

There is also danger of starting too 
many new enterprises in tlie way of . 
schools and colleges. Many new 


places or places witk nien. May (;r , 
help both tliose preachers nnd tlio' " 
circuits and stations. "' ( 


But suppose that one feels 


he is not appreciated— his 


tliat 


tedious, his teaching unwelcAftJ 
Let him not conclude that his calls 
'preach is invalidated or that he ,fl 
not owned of Ills Master, 'm* 
preacher mokt honored or God j 8 
necessarily the man who wins » U 1 

converts. Witness Elijah and Jonah 
Suppose the church has asked y, mt , 
removal. Remove. That i 8 prudent' 
and Christian. Don’t go invoking 
the wrath of God or shaking the (i,,,, 
from your feet. If you discharge] 
your duty while there leave the rest 
to your Master. He will see to i; 
Remember tliat sooner or later thi 
place had to lie surrendered. There 
are larger stations before than be 
Jiind. Don’t fear tliat you will be 
turned out to grass. Never.

words to say our annual meeting 
has just closed. We have had a most 
pleasant session. The Lord was 
with us, and tlie Spirit of God seem- 
ed to rest upon us all," and we felt 
greatly blessed. We thank God for 
such a glorious manifestation of liis 
goodness to us on this occasion. Wo 
have just returned home, and I have 
been veiy busy' to-day getting my 
preachers ready uud oil' for their 
work tlie coming year. 1 wiW write 
you u longer letter by the next mail, 
and tell you something of tlie work 
of the pust year. Bray for us, and be- 
lieye me ever your brother in 
Christ,

1 No More Place," 


Raul was at Corinth. But lii» iiris- 
sfoh there was at ari end, aud there 
was no more place for him. We m..y 
conjecture other reasons than tlie 
cud of liis mission. As in alu'fost 


By Morrison Heady. Nash- 
Ten n.: Southern Methodist 
fishing House, 1SS4. 

This is from the title-page of a 
book just received by me from our 
Rublishiug House. A neater bound, 
better printed book is seldom' seen. 
The paper Is heavy and of/superior 
quality. Indeed, the PTnake up’ 1 
of the book ■wbifi'd'dtUcredlt ttTHHj' ' 
Publishing House, in these Uultad 
States, and is ijUfiteeping with tin 


other excellent? work done under fill 
present management'. 

But as-fo tlie hook itself. It is a 
remarkable book, and one all tlie 

every place he was forced to have u | 7™ wan£ , and , tllKir fftthers 

retreat from espionage and vio’leiiceJ'4 l .°, u \ for t 1 lle HCelle is 

so doubtless ut Corinth ; and, as Ids ! aid in Kentucky, except in .the 
persecutors closed upon hiniU | le elosiugcliapters, in which the reader 
went from one hiding-placebo an- > 18 co,ldu # 11 with the , American 
other, until the last one was 'discov- i arnjy in P u " uitof lhe 15riti8, ‘ "my 
ered, aud lie must now/fuke liis de- 
parture. Or we may suppose tliat ! 
the proud, aristocratic, self-indulgent 
Corinthians grew tired of liis con- 


under Gen. Proctor, to tlie buttle of 
t lie Thames. The book closes witli 
j tlie deatli of Teeuniseh. The herb L. 
a faithful slave, named Burlmau 
Reynolds, or " Big Black Burl," ami 
the character is so well drawn that 
one is led to believe tliat lie was a 

placed l\e preached tob long, and a I ver ‘ l ablo personage, although pos 

1 sessed of rare courage for one of liis 
race. The descriptions of frontier 


stunt lashings of their immoralities, 
and souf-fit teachers more pliant and 
complaisant. Perhaps, us at other 


man of short sermons ami faultless 
li lieu was more in demand . than he. 

These are some of the pbsstble rea- 
sons why there was no more place 
for him. On tlie other hand, it may 
have been none. of these, but a call to 
a more important work. But in auy 
case I’uul showed no elation nor de- 
pression. 1 le neither grumbled nor 
exulted. So full of tlie exalted na- 
ture of liis mission and the commu- 
nication of it to the world that tlie 
idea of grieving at leaving a fine ap- 
pointment or going to a poor one did 
not occur to liim as an episode in 
preacher life. Yet Paul had sorrow- 
ful partings and joyful greetings. 

We have enough of liis itinerary to ! J*‘ ore Hl * 
long for a fuller recital— a story ! * bere 


life, tlie dangers and hardships 
bravely met and borne, the band to 
band combats witli tlie savage foes 
are drawn with a graphic pen and in 
a charming manner. . There an 
touches of great pathos, and some 
passages are strikingly beautiful ex- 
amples of " prose in poetry.” There 
are some exaggerated incidents ami 
some peculiar, very peqpllar, expres- 
sions and sentences to lie met hero 
and there, but they are like the dis- 
cords which tlie musician deftly in- 
serts in his composition so tliut tlie 
.beauty of tlie chords muy be tlie 


angels might love to hear. 

Some valuable lessons ar^ contain- 
ed or suggested in the words, .Yo 
more place. 1. Preachers often wear 
out aud places often become unin- 
viting to tlie preuclier. This is not a 
matter of grief to either party neces- 
sarily. That a preacher is "worn 
slick," as a brother termed it, iH not 
neeessurily evidence that he is a 
"gum-log,” to use a MeFerrinism. 
Nor because a place does not suit tlie 
preacher, is it proof that it will not 
exactly suit some one else? The 
truth in eucii ease is tliat tlie phrase- 
ology shows on tlie part of both 
preacher uud people a sad miscon- 
ception. It would he hut a poor 
thing if Christianity aimed at noth- 
ing higher than to furnish men with 


more striking by way of contrast 
story i Tbere not ' Hn impure word or sug- 


gestion iu tlie book. 

And, now, a brief mention of tlie 
author of UiIh little book (8 vo., 
18S pp.) He is tlie blind poet of 
Kentucky, whose fugitive poems we 
liuvebeen reading for so many years. 
Not only is lie blind, but lie Ih also 
deaf. Yet one would never discover 
these factH from tlie book, for the de- 
scription of scenery would iudicatu 
one whose eyes ure wide open to see, 
and whose heart is open to feel tin 1 
beauties of nature.

Bismarck -in returning the expres-

as a national discourtesy, if not in-

Last Hours of Richard N . Freeman, 

IlY UEV. JO.-KI'H y uwooti. 


1)kai< Bishop Kek.nkk: It-ia with 
pleasure that 1 comply with your 
request to write you a brjef aooouut 
of the last illness, dying words and 
death of our noble aud beloved Free- 
man. On January in, as I passed 
through the City of Mexico for my 
home in Toluca, 1 left him well, 
hearty and happy, fixing up his new 
home with the brightest prospects of 
a loug and happy life: but on Jan- 
uary 23 'I received u letter from I)r. 
i’atterson, saving: “ liro. Freeman 


dressed himself with great difficulty 
on account of slckneRs and extreme 
weakness, gone to church and 
preached one <tP the best sermons of 
Ills life on “The Day Spring;” and 
frequently during his last days lie 
Bald, with a great degree of satis- 
faction : “ I am so glad I preached 
last Sunday. It is a satisfaction to 
me to know that I delivered the 
gospel message once more." About 
twelve u’Cliick, Saturday Ulglit. Ill- 
called for Ills wife, and when I in- 
formed him that she had just .lain 
down to rest a little he replied : " I 
.wanted one thiug-that I did not gp.k i 
I wanted you and Lucy to have pray- ' 
era w’itli me before either of you i 
retired.” At this time he was sutler- ; 
mg intensely and tossing himself- 1 
from side to side of- the tied, -alid a 
little later lie culled me to him, and j 
said, about in these words: “My 
dear brother, I know it seems child- ; 
isli in me to he so restless ; but I tiave 1 
trieil In vain for six days and nights ! 
to sleep, and now my nervous system i 
iH so completely wrecked that 1 can’t | 
he quiet. Please kneel down here tiy 
me and ask God to help me to Bear 
this as a Christian mail ought to. 
While I held his hand in mine, 
kneeling by his bedside, and prayed 
he would heartily respond, “ Amen ! 
amen!” aud immediately 'afterward 
seemed to go to sleep and rest quiet- I 
ly for awhile. 

On Sunday morning, so soon as all 
were up, he said to his wife: “ l.ucy, 
get the Milde, and let's all have pray- 
ers together.” Thus lie spent the 
Sabbath in a spiritual frame of mind, 
though percept i lily growing worse. 
That night, while apparently deliri- 
ous, he seemed to he making a mis- 
sionary speech before ah American 
audience, in which he said many 
line things. He then com indeed to 
preach a sermon in Spanish, but 
soon changed again th his talk on the 
Mexican Mission. A few moments 
later lie.called nie, saying lie wanted 
to have one of pur good talks on the 
mission work in Mexico; hut by this 
time his voice had become so weak 
that I could not catch all his words. 

1 could hear euouft h, however, to get 
the general tenor of them. Koine of 
his audible words were, as nearly 


trust and meek submission as were 
manifested from first to last by his 
wife I have never before witnessed. 
Khe was quite sick for two days, aud 
when the physician informed her 
that she, too, had' the small-pox she 
got clean towels, cloths, etc., and 
placed them ut hand. Then she. ar- 
ranged clothes for both to be buried 
in, and laid her down t%die. When 
-she got better she thanked Cod that 
jdie was agiilli. able t» watt upon her 
husband.

Methodism.— Faith— Works. 

Methodism 0 is clearly the outcome 
of careful Milde reading. Therefore 
the Wesleys could say they were 
thrust out "to spread scriptural holi- 
ness over these lauds.” 

lit reading the word of i iod critical- 
ly John Wesley saw that the Church 
of Kugland was “teaching for doc- 
trines the commandments of men,” 
and that the Milde taught doctrines 
which the Church -of Fhiglaml was 
not teaching. My this reading he 
saw himself a .-in"cr unsaved. Such 
was the knowledge of himself un- 
’saved that he realized many hours, 
and even days, of sore conflict. In 
this state of mind he left F.nglatid us 
a sort of missionary to America. 
While on the Atlantic • b-eau he saw 
in the lives of the Moravian Chris- 
tians a practical illustration of the 
truths he had learned from the Milde. 
Then lie became a pupil theirs to 
learn experimental godliness. Re : 
turning to Knglaml he was “con- 
verted” on Wednesday night, “about 
a quarter before nine," May -4 , ITUS. 
Then he felt his “heart strangely 
warmed,” and that lie. was “saved 
from the law of sin and death.” 
Having realized salvation from sin 
and death, and enjoying the love and 
pence of Hod in the smtl, he -became 
deeply'concerned for 'the salvation of 
all men. Then “the world. was his 
parish.” 

Npw we see the belief and aid cation 
which John Wesley enjoyed in the 
faith and works thereof. These may 
he mentioned in part: First, faith; 
.ace, nnd ..works, . 


is in bed with small-pox, aud lias 
been, for several days; and this even- 
ing Kister Freeniau told me she was 
going to bed with It, as she has all 
the symptoms, ltut she said she was 
not at all alarmed. She is a calm and 
brave little woman.” 

When I received the doctor’s letter 
I was so unwell myself that 1 could 
not go to him at once ; but so soon as 
I was able to travel, which was two 
days later, I went to his assistance. 
When I reached the house his woman- 
ly wife came to the door, and said : 
“Bro. Norwood, I advise you not to 
come In.” To which 1 replied: “I 
have come for that purpose, my 
sister.” The brightening of her 
countenance, the expression of grati- 
tude that gushed out from her eyes, 
and the exclamation, “Oh, I am so 
glad !" made me feel glad, too, that 1 
was where I was needed. But, oh! 
bow my heart sank within me as I 
walked Into the room aud saw Ills 
swollen aud disfigured face. That 
moat awful of all diseases had as- 
sumed the m6st horrible form, and 
had closed bis eyes and so completely 
changed his appearance that he was 
unrecognizable, it was characteristic 
of this man to say, among bis first 
words: "My brother, ure you not 
afraid of this disease?" When I as- 
sured him that I was not ho reached 
up and embraced me most attention 
ately, and said : My brother, 1 am 

so glad you have come, for my dear 
Lucy is cSiBpletely broken down 
with anxiety and fatigue, and now 
she can rest a little aud feel that I 
am not neglected.” 

From that time to his death, about 
forty-live hours after, his thoughts 
seemed to run on religious subjects 
ah the time, whether delirious or In 
his right mind. On the previous 
^abbath he had gotten up from bed, 


verbatim as I can give them, the fol- 
lowing : “ What ! the Mexican Mis- 
sion work a failure? Not a word of 
it. Kay it not to me. The work is 
of God, sealed by the blood of Christ, 
and it must succeed— it will succeed, 
lie will make the rough places 
smooth and the crooked places 
straight. He will correct all errors 
from whatever cause.” This was 
only about five hours before his 
death. Still later he called to his 
wife, and asked her to repeat from 
memory the Psalm which begins, 
“God is my refuge and strength," aud 
repeatedly responded, "Amen!” to 
the verses that seemed to apply most 
directly to hilii. About three o’clock, 
Monday mornings lie commenced to 
talk to mg again about mission work, 
for that was his all-absorbing them#, 
aud, among other- things, he said t- 

" There is a tendency at home which 
I would gladly help to correct. Home 
persons in their zeal for the missions 
of their own church seem to forget 
the American Bible Society and its 
glorious work of evangelization and 
true charity. After all, that society 
Is the chief corner-stone of the great 
missionary movement. What could 
we have done in Mexico without it ’ 

I wish you to carrv my love aud best 
wishes for success to Bro. Hamilton, 
Its representative in Mexico, and 
through him to the society at home. 
Also remember me kindly to Dr. 
Patterson, our beloved superintend- 
ent, and to all our colaborers.” 

About an hour later he called me, 
aud when I inquired What he wanted 
he replied: "I only wanted to talk 
to you a little; hut I am too weak 
and It hurts me to talk.” Bo saying, 
lie turned over aud seemed to go to 
sleep. During the next hour 1 wsb 
busy giving tbe medicines aud apply 
ing the remedies prescribed by tbe 
physician, and wbeu 1 had finished 
he again turned over and took an 
easy position. At 5:10 o’clock, on 
Monday morning, Jantiury 28, which 
was only fifteen minutes later, my 
attention was attracted by an unusual 
quietness. I sprang to his side and 
found that Ills gentle spirit had 
taken its heavenward (tight. 

You will pardon me for addlug 
that such Christian fortitude, abiding 


The faith referred to embraces 
Bible doctrines : 1. The fullness aud 
completeness of redemption. By this 
is meant thfit Jesus Christ, by the 
grace of God, tasted death for every 
man ; that lie died equally and suffi- 
ciently for every mau : that not one 
was left out of the Di\hne plan of 
salvation. Cpon this foundation- 
principle he believed. 

2. That the gospel was to be 
preached to every creature as taught 
by Christ iu the commission, saying, 

“ Go ye into all the world and preach 
the gospel to every creature,” aud 
that tbe gospel was “ good uews ” of 
salvation to every man. This belief 
thrilled Ills heart and filled him with 
a consuming desire “ to spread scrip- 
tural holiuess over all lauds.” 

He believed and preached that 
man became tbe active and personal 
beneficiary of this provision of rt- 
fieeming lqve by “ faith imljr” In the 
eternal Son of God. This is " a most 
wholesome doctrine, and very full of 
comfort." 

4. That conversion, or regenera- 
tion, was the work of the Holy 
Ghost, creating us anew in Christ 
Jesus. This work of the divine 
Hpirit changes us from darkuess to 
light, aud from the power of Katau un- 
to God, gives a new heart, new spirit 
and new love and hope, aud puts not 
only a new song in our mouths, but 
puts the Spirit of God within us. 

5. That the Holy Ghost not only 
renews, or renovates, us iu the spirit 
of our minds, but bears no testimony 
to the fact. Thus Methodism taught, 
as her most distinguished belief, tbe 
great 1‘aullne doctrine of tbe direct 
witness of the Spirit with our spirits 
that we are tbe children of God. The 

I realization of this over-spreading aud 
M all-embracing truth lias given equal 
comfort to the learned and unlearned, 
to the high and low, to the rich and 
poor, to tbe old and young, to white 
and black, iu health, in sickness and 
iu death. By this grace aud power 
the “ Methodists die well.” 

In the worsts of Methodism only 
part can be now enumerated. These 
may be called results as well as works 
of Methodism, of these the follow- 
ing may be named : J. The publica- 
tion of current religious literature. 
This took shape in tbe form of tracts 
These were cheap, and thereby adapt 


eef to file poor. They Were scattered 
broadcast ami brought forth abundant 
fruit. They also took form In the 
shape of the church magazines and 
other publications. Thus Methodism, 
under God^rod.uoefl this agency of 
power in the work of the church'. 
Now Christian Advocates in the 
Methodist Church and similar publi- 
cations In all the churches character- 
ize tlie, gospel movement of the nine- 
teenth century. Mven the Primitive 
Baptists have their VVatChiiian and 
Primitive Pathway. So that even 
this church is drawing benefit out of 
Methodism. All tlie churches are 
tfreneflted by Methodism. 

• 2. The Bible ' Society of. Great 
Britain was the fruit of Methodist 
labor. As early as 1779 the Naval 
and Military Bible Society was or- 
ganized by the Wesleyan Methodists. 
Out of this and other Methodist in- 
fluences came the British and Foreign 
Bible Society In 1S0I. Out of this 
came the American ami Foreign 
Bible Society, and out of these more 
than fifty Bibid societies have sprung 
From these the word of God is being 
sent-mto-ali Jai-ids by tons of weight, 
translated into nearly two hundred 
ami fifty languages and dialects. 
Thus tlie Bible societies are helping 
to carry out John Wesley's mission 
“Spread scriptural holiness over 
“these lands.” 

:i. Sunday-sehoolsare usually recog- 
nized as the work of one Robert 
llaikes. However, John Wesley held 
Sunday-schools in this country forty- 
five years before tlie school 111 
Gloucester under Robert Rallies. 
But even Itaikes obtained his idea of 
the Sunday-school from a member of 
the Methodist Clyirch— the wTfe of a 
local preacher. This was in the year 
17S1. Now this arm of church power 
is fell in all lands. 

4. Missionary work._was.the cause 
of the Wesleys coining over the 
“ broad waters” and preaching, suf- 
fering aud toiling iu Georgia. The 
same spirit nerved the faith and tired 
tlie heart of Dr. Coke. Aided by 
several warm and true-hearted Irish 
preachers, aud pledging himself for 
the necessary means, Coke sailed for

While all tlie means of grace' are for

past , there is more danger of tlie class

The peculiar institution is enshrined 
in her very heart, and to take it from 
tier is not only -to rnh her of a price- 
less jewel,, hut to go far toward ac- 
complishing her destruction. We 
read of John Wesley that he “visited 
Bristol repeatedly and formed there 
tlie first Methodist class meeting, 
and, on returning to .London, intro- 
duced tlie same improvement into 
the metropolitan societies.” Speak- 
ing of iihiB. Mr. Wesle y said: - “This 
was the origin of our elasses in. 
London, for which I can never suffi- 
ciently praise God. The unspeakable 
usefulness of the institution has ever 
been more and more manifest.” 

The editor of the Nashville Advo- 
cate, ill his work on tlie class meet- 
ing, says: “More than once during 


he breathed liis soul to God and was 
buried in the deep Indian Sea just 
after- the cloudless sun apparently 
sank Into the deep blue waters, while 
the ship bell was lolliug tlie soft and 
solemn tones of farewell. The work, 
however, went on, and is going on 
till scriptural . holiness covers all

These are hilt, points iu the faith 
and works of our beloved Methodism. 
“ Methodism is Christianity in

are so ignorant of its true nature as to 
class it with the Roman confessional/ 
May the Spirit so baptize us after the 
olden muimer that this 'God-owned 
means, ot grace may again lie taken 
to our hearts aud made part and 
parcel of our church life! The Meth-

that Methodism has done in the past,

Revive the Class Meeting. 

Bishop Barker, iu his late article, 
headed “After a Hpndred Years,” 
says: “A spiritual ministry, convert- 
ed preachers, imbued with the spirit 
of self-denial, and having an experi- 

ericr’to tell ttfl ’Well ahoirrae-to 

expound, is of first importance. And, 
next to this, we must be careful to 
keep up those great nurseries of 
spirituality, the love-feast, the elaas 
meeting and family prayer.” 

We would like to have our South- 
ern Methodists raise millions of 
money for missions, church extension 
and education, and we will do what 
we can to that end ; but, as the 
Bishop puts it iu that same artlole, 
we are not without “ anxious 
thought" concerning “our church 
life.” In our commendable zeal to 
forward God’s cause, so far as commit- 
ted to .our branch of the Christian 
Church, there will almost certainly 
he a tendency to neglect tlie praying 
and efi'orts necessary to the increase 
of spirituality among us. More and 
more' Is it becoming a habit with 
certain Methodists to beconteut with 
hearing an occasional sermon on a 
bright Sabbath ; official members, by 
their example leading others to do 
the same, live an entire year without 
attending the weekly prayer meet- 
ing ; multitudes of members have 
never been iu a class room, and as to 
family worship in very many homes, 
called Christian homes, there is no 
attempt made in that direction by 
father or mother. 

The means of grace must he used 
in order to a growth In grace, and 
none who think upon tbe subject iu 
the light of God’s word and of the

minutes of 1SS."> :

church societies strong in numbers 
almost disintegrate from the tem- 
porary Iohh of a pastor. These people 
call themselves soldiers of Jesus 
Christ! They'belong to the army of 
the Lord!' A million of such would 
not conquer a village for Christ in a 
million of years. Where did they get 
such a conception of the duties of 
Christian dlscipleship? What sort 
of conversion did they undergo? 

Where are their Bibles? Who are 
tiieir religious instructors? The 
writer served temporarily a Baptist 
Church in San Francisco, whose 
members, iu the absence of a pastor, 
kept up during several months all 
the social meetings of the church 
without any (lagging of zeal or Iohh 
of interest. They followed the New 
Testament, and from it they had 
learned what were the privileges and 
duties -Of— the- li ving mem hers -of 
Christ’s living church, Tbe right 
view aud the right practice were re- 
covered by Methodists under tlie 
lead ot John and bis associates and j 
successors. The church recovered its j 
lost freedom and regained Its lost j 
power. The seal of silence was 1 
broken in its assemblies. The living 
stream of renewed spiritual life broke 
forth in the desert, and the wilder- 
ness blossomed as the rose. It was a 
resurrection. It was a resurrection 
of a hurled gift, and the living, glow- ! 
ing, growing, rejoicing, witnessing 
church sprang iuto life, and New J 
Testament Christianity again walked 
the earth in its origual beauty and 
wrought its wonders as at the first, j 
Tlie Methodists did not originate tlie ; 
class meeting. They only revived 
it. it was horn witli the Christian 
Church. It was born of tlie instincts, 
necessities and aspirations of human 
nature, hungering for heavenly truth [ 
aud' holy human fellowship. Tlie 
Methodists gave it a name; hut tlie 
thing itself was the inevitable re- 
vival of an apostolic institution 
where a mighty work" of God bad 
brought back again tlie essential doc- 
trine, polity and usages of tlie uucor- 
rupted church of our Lord- Jesus 
Clirjst. It was not un invention, 
but the normal outgrowth of a living 
Christianity. Its elements were in

of Hr. HayVood that “no danger to 
our Methodism i«i more remote tlian 

the danger of an over-educated min- 
istry.” Let us educate. They should

of the old Methodist “mother in

The revival at Centenary Church, 
8t. Louis, (Hev. Hr. Tudor, pastor,) 
under Rev. Thomas Harrison, has, 
up to last reports, resulted in severul 
hundred conversions. Hr. Tudor 
has received largely over one hun- 
dred names as candidates for church- 
membership. 

A note from Hie Venerable Rev. 

gorge Skaeffer, of Columbus, M iss. » 

dated March 7, says : " Bishop Kava- 
iniugh is here, and lias been very 
sick since his arrival. He is some- 
what relieved, but still confined to 
his bed.” We liope our honored 
chief pastor will be able to attend 
the Bishops’ meeting In Nashville. 


Sydney Smith’s definition of a 
curate is a not inaccurate description 
of a Southern preacher, viz.: “The 
poorest and most respectable man in 
the parish.” In the North Georgia, 
one of the leading Conferences in 
Southern Methodism, the average 
salary of the preachers last year was 
foil OS. In the Mississippi it was 
only $112 57. An ordinary clerk 
without u family would consider 
that "starvation wages." 


Pastoral attention to straugers is 
most important in our towns and 
cities. There are churches North 
that have a committee on “shaking 
hands" with visitors. A little atten- 
tion of that sort won to Methodism 
-Jn.S,e.w..Y.uiK City a young man, who 
became one of her most princely 
benefactors. Another incident nearer 
home was related to us a few days 
ago. A Methodist lady from abroad, 
after speuding a few weeks in. the 
city, dropped a pastor an appre- 
ciative, mbutanlial note of thanks for 
kind attention. 

“ Dunbarton, ” the historic resi- 
dence of the venerable historian and 
statesman, Col. J. F. H. Claiborne, 
situated about ten mileB from 
Natchez, Miss., with all of its con- 
tents, was destroyed by fire on Mon- 
day of last week. His large collec- 
tion of books, manuscripts, portraits, 
and relics of all sorts, were lost. Co). 
Claiborne was an invalid, and bad to 
be carried from the burning building 
and look on at the destruction. oQhe 
gathered treasures of many years. 
This is a public calamity. Dunbar- 
ton was settled in 18U4, by Mr. Dun- 
bar, the father of M rs. Claiborne, and 
the log cabin in which lie at first 
lived was replaced by a more elegant 
mansion about 1812 or 1814. Mrs. 
Claiborne was born in the old home, 
and it has been her lifelong resi- 
dence. 

A Modest Suggestion.- 




Our Bishops will be expected this 
Centenary year to give undue dili- 
gence in attending District Confer- 
ences. ’ Their time and strength will 
be fully taxed in meeting these en- 
gagements. Programmes will be ar- 
ranged for Centenary iiiuhh meetings, 
and they, of course, will have to bear 
the most prominent part. To reach 
these different and distant points 
will require much travel -and travel 
involve* expeuae. Bishops attend Au- 
nual Conferences at 1 their own 
charges. But this extra and ex- 
pensive service they should not be 
expected to render without, at least, 
being furnished fiee transportation. 
We make tills modest suggestion 
simply to prevent a possible over- 
sight. Of course, where failure has 
occurred it was from mere neglect. 
But this neglect is not uncommpu. 
We have known of our chief pastors 
< going on extensive and expensive 
trips to District Conferences, making 
full proof of tbtlr laborious ministry, 
and all at their own cost. As much 
will be required of them, something 
should be given to them. 


Just now a part of the Christian 
world is In spiritual retreat. They 
have entered upon a period of retire- 
\ ment froth worldly gaieties and the 
1 practice of special -religious duties. 

I There Ib to be a denial of the Meeh- 
an abstinence from society tollies 
and high living— and a more rigid 
I observance of spiritual obligations. 

For forty days the world Is to be shut 
i <hit, ami the life is to be hid with 
Christ. Upon what Scriptural in- 
junction or religious philosophy the 
period of torty day b should have been 
selected, rather than a longer or 
shorter time, does not appear. The 
instances of forty-day fasts in the 
Bible were not written for ensamples 
to us. Nor are they observed either 
in letter or spirit' by the modern 
practice of a mere chatige of lenten 
diet. There is very little real self- 
denial or failure to fully satisfy the 
appetite. The courses may be fewer 
and less variety of viands, but the 
average daily consumption is main- 
tained. Now bell known we are Hot 
objecting to the lenten idea, but to 
its misuse and abuse. That some 
good may result from this special 
periodic exercise we do not doubt. 

Borne devout spirits will catch its 
hidden meaning, wisely employ its 
appointed seasons for public and 
private prayer, and enter into larger 
and sweeter experiences of. divine 
grace. But observation forces' us to 
the regretful conclusion that these 
are the rare exceptions, while the 
va^t multitude misconceive its sig- 
nificance and make it the occasion of 
spiritual hurt. They starve “the 
bin <but not the sin,” and hence per- 
vert its observance into a fatal re- 
ligiousness without true piety. A 
few general observations upon lenten 
seasons may be helpful to Methodist 
readers. 

Fixed periods of special religious 
exercise are often occasions of spirit- 
ual peril. There is a constant temp- 
tation to pervert the true meaning of 
all divine appointments and enact- 
ments. The thing is exalted for the 
thing signified— the type for that 
which is typified. This is a common 
weakness and experience. The spirit 
is hidden or poisoned, in the observ- 
ance of a mere form. Especially is 
this true of lent. It often beepmtB a 
stone of stumbling. Forty days of 
withdrawal from gaieties, that should 
never be practiced or encouraged, is 
regarded as a marked evidence of 
rare piety. There may be value , but 
no virtue, in a rule. It is well to 
have religious habits— times and 
places for prayer, meditation and in- 
trospection— but, when esteemed as 
a virtue, become hurtful. - We 

should pray, but prayer itself is no 
ground of acceptance with Clod. 

j-itomanistsoften appoint for specified 

occasions so many "Our Fathers” 
and. “Hail Marys,” as if there was 
merit in the number of prayers. 
Countiug the rosary is not breathing 
the praying spirit. And so of all 
other religious duties and exercises. 
There is no merit in the mere per- 
formance of the doing of anything. 

Again, these occasions are tempta- 
tions to make religion iutermlttaut 
or periodical. They are sometimes 
regarded as a license to worldlinesB— 
a free discharge from spiritual 
austerity for the balance of the year. 
Lent is ushered In generally by the 
wild excesses of “ Shrove Tuesday," 
and is succeeded by any amount of 
worldly folly. And these are con- 
sidered allowable in consideration of 
the full forty days of spiritual hiber- 
nation. This liability to license in- 
heres in the undue magnifying of 
any duty or season. In our Method- 
ist Churches, especially in the rural 
districts, we make'tliis mistake with 
reference to “protracted meetings” 
With not a few u “good revival" 
will atone for a year of spiritual 
deadness and destitution. 

What we plead for is constancy of 
spiritual life aud activity! without 
remission, intermission or abate- 
ment. Periodical piety Is not health- 
ful. In religious character it is not 
for us to kuow times and seasons. 
Every day should be consecrated to 
God, aud the lenten period should 
know no end. 


This was the subject of Joseph 
Cook's "prelude” to his one hundred 
and sixty-fifth lecture in Tremont 
Temple last week. With most of It 
we cordially agree. A bpWer public 
seutiment must be arotised in favor 
of the rigid enforcement of law. In 
support of his argument Mr. Cook 
made some startling and humiliating 
statements. It humbles our national 
pride to be told that, with the excep- 
tion of Italy and Spain, the propor- 
tion of murders to deaths in thiB 
country is not exceeded anywhere 
on earth where statistics, are taken. 

“ Out of every 10,000 deaths in,Eng- 
laud seven are murders. Out of 
every 10,000 in the United States 
twenty-one are murders." After a 
thrilling description of the lawless 
spirit aud record of some sections, he 
suggests as a remedy to eradicate this 
evil the organization of Law and 
Order Leagues in States and in 
municipalities. 

As might be expected, Mr. Cook 
makes some very reckless states 
rnenta. His characterization of the 
Bouth is a little too partisan and 
overdrawn. We make no apology 
for the cheapness of human life and 
thespiritof lawlessness jthat disgrace 
our communities. Thiis Advocate 
has a clear record on that subject. 
Butltserves no good purpose to hold 
this section upaB the hot-bed of all 
villainy and the asylufn of murder- 
ers. \Ve doubt if there are as many 
homicides in the Bouth as in the 
North. And, if so, there should be 
no reference to sectional lines. Con- 
demn wrong, but never in the spirit 
and with the purpose of a partisan. 
Mr. Cook says there' is "a shot-gun 
aristocracy in the Bouth, haughty, 
“domineering, barbaric, cowardly, 
murderous.” We kuow of no such 
thing. There have been shocking 
and too frequent murders here arid 
there, aud some of these may have 
had more or less complicity with 
politics, but the great body, of the 
people condemn them. They do not 
indicate pr represent the spirit of our 
section. 

Again, Mr. Cook says: “The 
Northern States are almost wholly 
free from moderate drinking in the 
pulpit, and tiie Southern States, 
thank God, become more temperate 
every year.” Now, that is an in- 
vidious and unlair statement. We 
kuow no Southern minister who is 
not a pronounced apostle of temper- 
ance, and almost to a man- they are 
teetotalers. The above implication 
of the Boston Monday lecturer is 
purely gratuitous, based upon gross 
ignorance of the facts. The follow- 
ing, from the New York Evening 
Post, confirms the statement that the 
homicidal record of the South is no 
worse titan the North : 

We all know how the murderer id 
protected against the gallows in this 
State by points of practice. In other 
Stales it Is just aH bad. lit Gltio there 
are thirty murderers, taken red- 
handed, lying in jail, who have thus 
far foiled the efforts of the district 
attorney to carry them through the 
maze <if technicalities deliberately 
created by the Legislature, and no 
murderer has been executed in the 
State since 1809. The victims of the 
knife aud pistol are so numerous 
every week as to cover the whole 
land with blood guiltiness. 


pocket contemplates a possible diffi- 
culty and homicide. He carries a 
concealed pistol for the purpose of 
taking life if the occasion should 
arise, ^ine-tentlis of the man- 
slaughters and murders of the land 
are the bloody work of the pistol. 
So common is the use of this weapofi 
of street ’war that brainless bullies 
pride themselves on their expertness 
in its use. They know how “ to get 
the drop " on an antagonist. 

In tfirllglft of these humiliating 
facts’ the above measure seems 
supremely farcical. It is healing the 
hurt of our people very slightly. It 
is toying with a momentous ques- 
tion. . .

A Field Day at Senajobia. 

We had the pleasure Jof spending 
Sunday last in the thriving town of 
Senatobla, on the Mississippi and 
Tennessee road, about thirty miles 
south of Memphis. It was an occa-, 
slon of many delightful episodes and 
long to be remembered. Rev. T. B. 
Malone, our genial and laborious 
pastur of that station, had exacted 
the promise of a visit some, weeks 
before, and appointed the time for 
“ clearing the decks.” We purposed 
spending a day bn route at B*rdls, 
but the absence of the pastor, Rev. 
J. I). Cameron, ami a phenomenal 
rain-storm prevailing at the time of 
arrival, making all out-door work 
impossible, determined us to journey 
on to "Senatobia. Friday and Satur- 
day, were exceedingly inclement, but 
Sunday morning was radiant aud 
glorious, with scarcely a lleck of 
cloud ou the sky. Notwithstanding 
the unfavorable weather an excellent 
congregation assembled ou Saturday 
night for preaching. Qn the Sabbath 
the beautiful little church— a very

Healing the Hurt Slightly— Toy Pistols. 


If aiiy one of our readers is arobi 
tious for distinction In authorship 
let him not be discouraged, as wit- 
ness the following : 

Disraeli. It is stated, made by his 
pen £30 000; Byron, £23 000; Lord 
Macaulay received £20,U00ou account 
of three-fourths net profits for his 
history. Thiers and Lamartine re- 
ceived nearly £20 000 each for their 
respective histories. Thackeray is 
said never to have received £5 000 
for any of his novels. Sir Waller 
Scott was paid £110 000 for eleven 
novels, of three volumes each, and 
nine volumes of “Tales of my Laud- 
lord." For one novel he received 
£10,000, and between November, 
1825, and June, 1827, he received 
£2ti 000 for literary . work. Lord 
Lylton is said to have made £80,000 
by ids novels; Diekens.it has been 
computed, ought to have beqn mak- 
ing £10 000 a year for three years 
prior to tbe publication of “ Nicholas 
Nickleby ;’’ and Trollope In twenty 
years made £70,000.. 


A law has just been enacted in 
Mississippi “ to prohibit tbe sale of 
toy pistols in this State.” By the 
provisions of the act it is unlawful 
for any person, company or corpora- 
tion to sell or offer to sell any toy 
pistol, cartridges, caps or other con- 
trivances by which said pistols are 
fired wjthJu the limits of the State. 
For each violation of the law, and 
conviction thereof, there is imposed 
a fine of from twenty to fifty dollars. 
We have no objection to the hill. It 
is a nice little law, destgued to re- 
strain the average small boy and 
abate an annoying and dangerous 
nuisance. Toy pistols have caused 
several deaths In this city, besides 
the loss of eyes and the suffering of 
other injuries' 

But what amuses and amazes is, 
why did the legislative solons rise in 
indignant majesty against the toy 
pistol, and utter no word of protest 
or prohibition agaiuBt the real, fight 
ing pistol— the “.lightning Colts" 
and “self-cocking Tranter?" Boys 
mustnothave dangerous playthings, 
but any person, company or corpo- 
ration may sell at liberty the deadly 
real pistol to any purchaser, child, 
man or woman. If the purpose was 
protection of life aud limb, tbe latter 
should have been prohibited by 
law so rigid that the second offeuse 
would never be committed. The 
homicidal records of our courts will 
only be abolished with the prohlbl 
tiop qf the pistol. But so long as it 
is a legitimate article of merchandise, 
and whisky selling is legalized, we 
may expect street tragedies. Pistols 
were made to take human life. They 
have no other value. Huntsmen 
have no hbb for them. Their mission 
Lb human dtfstruotlon. And the man 
who makes an arsenal of his hip- 


gem of its kind— was quite 
with as interesting a congregation as 
any town in the State cun boast. 

After the morning sermon t lie decks 
were not only cleared of the five Con- 
ference assessments, but a handsome 
little surplus was realized as the 
nucleus of a Centenary fund. It was 
atiiugof rejoicing. The old dnxology 
was sung with exqltaut voices. And 
a cheerier smile was never seen than 
that which illumined the face of the 
Senatobia pastor. He now strides t lie 
Centenary deck of our old ship with- 
out an unfavorable omen for a pros- 
perous aud happy voyage. 

Senatobla lias a live church, witli 
elements capable of large develop- 
ment. There has been a steady 
growth forYbine years past; until' 
now it is one of the most delightful 
and enterprising stations in the Con- 
ference. It lias religion, wealth, 
liberality anil conuectional loyalty. 

A few years past bur brethren were 
joint proprietors in a union church, 
and were connected with a large cir- 
cn it, witli priuuhiing.uiic£sOr-hW-it-f‘- 11 
month. Now they have a heat brick 
edifice, tastefully furnished and ad- 
mirable in all Its appointments, built 
at a cost of about live thousand dol- 
lars. They have a nice little parson- 
age-the gift moBtly of one generous 
brother— and a well organized sta- 
tion. Several things impressed us 
most favorably : 

1’. The handsome, intelligent, ac- 
tive sisterhood of the church. If the 
brethren will only obey the apostolic 
injunction and “ help those women ” 
yet greater prosperity will attend 
therm 

2. The hearty congregational sing- 
ing. In the service of song there 
were few “ unemployed or idly em- 
ployed.” 

3. The larger attendance of chil- 
dren upon the preaching service. 

Methodism is moving forward 
heallifully and hopefully in all that 
beautiful country. Presiding Elder 
Terry iB magnifying Ids olllce hiuI 
demonstrating his fitness for leader- 
ship. Rev. J. M. Wyatt, of Cold 
Water, and his wife came down ou 
Saturday afternoon and Bpeut some 
hours wltfcus pleasantly. He is liv- 
ing in a new parsonage as well as all 
the other pastors along that road 
from Memphis to Grenada. 

Senatobia is a solid town, with a 
large and increasing business. Tate 
couuty has a prohibitory law which 
goes into effect In July, and in an- 
ticipation of the fatal day two saloons 
have already closed put. Rut for the 
lateness of the hour before going to 
press we would like to write of many 
things seen and beard. For kind at- 
tentions we are grateful to Pastor 
Malone and his flock. We regretted 
the absence on official duties of our 
clal friend. Lieut. -Gov. Shands.

Mr, Editor: You will please im- 
agine yourself transported by the 
genii of steam over gulf and gorge, 
sleeping valley anil bold mountain 
peak, past plains fertile and culti- 
vated, on, on, by foot-hills, towns, 
villages and interminable rowB of 
the maguey plant, until you afe set 
down at the depot of Mexico, about 
ten o’clock at night, whence a hack 
soon brings you to the warm pre- 
cincts of the Mission House, bright 
with the presence of American 
ladies, American children and Dr. 
Patterson. It was, indeed, to us not 
unlike a wonderful dream in its 
panoramic variety and rapidity of 
change. 

To me everything the next morn- 
ing after our arrival was familiar 
enough ; not so, I Imagine, was it 
with Dr. Kelley. His eyes hail evi- 
dently seen wondroUB things as we 
passed the heights of the Cordilleras, 
aild nuw, as the daylight fell on the 
Alamada, the cathedrals, the 
street, anil on its ceaseless stream of 
donkies, they doubtless still con- 
tinued to see; Considerable changes 
bad been made in buildings, anil 
much rubbish had disappeared since 
my- last visit. Lines of street rail- 
roads bail been lengthened, and 
tfiere Wus evidently more activity in 
tbe commercial thoroughfares. 

Ou Sabbath, February 11, the doc- 
tor preached to the English congre- 
gation, of which Bro. Freeman hail 
been pastor. I went- out. to Ameca- 
meca, a town very tieur the snow 
mountain Xixtaxihuatl. There we 
have a good property, a school, a 
-church-house and a goud- society- I- 
preached, Dr. Patterson translating. 

After the morning service we had 
Sabbath-school, some singing, cate- 
chising aud several talks to tbe chil- 
dren. One of the principal families 
in Ibis village is the leading one in 
our church. After dining at tliiA 
house we started back toward the 
city, aud on .the way passed two 
other large villages, iu each of wjiich 
we Have a Southern Methodist 
Church and a school, and regular 
preaching. The congregations are 
much larger at uiglit than_in the 
day time in all these country places. 
Many Catholics stand about tbe door 
and hear, who could not be persuaded 
to sit under Protestant preaching. 

At night. Dr, Kelley preached at 
Toluca, where Bro. Norwood resides, 
of which, and one school there, 
doubtless lie will give an account. 

By tiie Wednesday following this 
Sabbath all the preachers had ar- 
rived, both foreign and native, anil 
nearly all met on Tuesday evening 
in tbe parlor of Dr. Patterson. It 
witff tnB'iigtnful mmtinnir friendsT' 
The improvement in tbe personnel 
of tiie mission was marked, especial- 
ly. in its native element. The mis- 
sion bail received a valuable aeoet- 
siou also iu the Rev. D. F. Watkins 
and wife, and in the four or live 
Mexican preachers conuectul with 
ids work in Guadalajara. Ho bad 
come out with Mr. Stevens, who was 
killed in 1874 at Aliualulas. They 
were both Welshmen by .birth, 
members of tiie Congregational 
Church ; under its auspices, moved 
by the missionary impulses of tbe 
Ho'y Ghost, they had gone from Han 
Francisco down to Mexico. After 
1 lee niartyrdqm of his friend, Mr. 
Watkins held his ground, and began 
to publish a paper ill the interest of 
Protestantism. Presently lie had 
cleaned away enough ground to 
btand on, which lie presently' made 
impregnable against bis assailants, 
and they were many. From -causes 
too many aud complicate to here 
state, be has'for tbe last two and a 
half years been entirely disconnected 
with his Congregational supporters, 
anil has been struggling alone and 
making headway in and about 
Guadalajara. Iu this condition lie on 
last June turned his attention toward 
Bro. Patterson, anil after full cnrri- 
spouileuce he determined to unre- 
servedly join the Southern Method- 
ist Church, and place himself under 
tiie auspices of its Mission Board. 
His congregation being in full and 
free harmony with ills purpose cast 
iu its fortunes almost unanimously 
with ours. Since that time all have 
moved ou in the same order as tiie 
other parts of our work. Mr. Wat- 
kins brings some five hundred mem- 
bers aud five preachers, besides sev- 
eral excellent Sabbath-schools, and 
one day school, taught by Mrs. Wat- 
kins/ -XJIa preachers have seen serv- 
ice iu a bard, not to say dangerous, 
field. One or two of them are men 
of extraordinary force and spiritual- 
ity. Mr. Watkins himself is a Span- 
ish speaker aud writer of much <ul 
tlvation, and one of the most uiu- 
queut preachers in tbe Republie. 
He preached for us twice during the 
Conference. It was not essential to 
know Spanish To see the power of 
the preacher. The grace and force 
of his action reminded me of that of 
George Cookmau, whom I well 


knew in my youth, and have often 
heard. 

On Thursday morning the annual 
meeting of the mission convened in 
our Ternplo de Messias, ou Ban 
Andfes street. Thirty native and 
seven foreign preachers connected 
with the mission were present. Two 
secretaries Were appointed, oue Eng- 
lish and one Spanish. Bro. Ndrwooil- 
was retained by the presiding Bishop 
as translator in chief, and, by the by, 
most admirably did he discharge 
this laborious part of the Conference 
work. On all sides he is regarded as 
a superior Spanish speaker, and he 
excels in all the qualities of a good 
translator. Everything, of course, 
had to be done twice, once in Span- 
ish and once in English. O! how 
those syllables rang in one’s ears by 
the time the day had closed. Ye9, 
and far in the night, through the 
brain, as the swinglug vibrations of 
a bell after it has stopped ringing, . 

The Mexicans are apt at all kinds of 
conclave work; They like the speech- 
making parts' of a Conference, the 
making a motion, the exordium, the 
measured sentence, the putting the 
vote. It all chimes in with their 
genius for fine art, their sense of in- 
definite leisure aud their constitu- 
tional politeness. . 

Soj too, they greatly enjoy its de- 
votional parts — its preaching, its 
lessons, hymus and prayers. They 
have but little idea of short metre at 
any point of the service. 1- 

The order of business was upou 
our own home model in the main. 
They were Introduced to the statis- 
tical yoke at ouce, anil henceforth 
will never know any better. They 
had blanks, which were filled out 
anil read by each preacher iu charge, 
so that presently each one came to 
have a Very'Yutelllgeut view of the 
whole work. It was easy to see who 
hpd 'accomplished valuable results 
during the year’s labor. Committees 
were appointed upon memoirs, edu- 
cation, books and periodicals, Hab- 
lnith-schools, church properly and 
tire spiritual condition of the mis- 
sion,. the last consisting of all tiie 
presiding elders and the superintend 
eut, of- the mission. Their reports 
were beautifully written, and, in- 
deed, will .compare favorably with 
those of any home Conference. One 
or two of these I will add. In fact, 
at all points the body, is full orbed, 
wanting only the development of 
experience. Committees of examina- 
tion aud cia ses of undergraduates 
are now duly arranged, and. will ap- 
pear anil report at its next session. . 

I subjoin the report of the Committee 
on tbe Spiritual State of tiie Mission, 
which will lengthen this letter to its 
full limit : ,

(Ruvrhrsler Democrat unit Chronicle .) 

To any one who lias studied tlio laws 
of life, and especially those which relate 
to reproduction, an experience such ns 
we are about to relate, will come with 
special force and interest. The trans- 
mission of certain mental traits of 
prominence, and of certain physical 
traits of equal prominence, are facis 
which all acknowledge, but which 
none cau understand. The father may 
bedlstliiKulshed,— the son, an iu, beetle; 
or, the parent may he decrepit and mi- 
’known, ami tlio child achieve the hiuh- 
est place possible to humanity. But 
through il h 1 I , there will be certain 
characteristics, which mark the indi- 
vidual as descending from certain an- 
cestors. Too often, indeed, these char- 
acteristics are inlirmities, and often of 
a physical nature. 

These facts were strikingly brought 
out during a conversation, which a 
representative of this paper recently 
had with Mrs., Carrie I). T. Swift, who 
is tlie wile of one of our most prominent 
citizens, This lady related that slm In- 
herited from her parents certain ten- 
dencies, over w^iid) she had no.control, 
and which wote'injho nature of blood 
ilillicultirs, assuming the form' of 
rheumatism. Her expedience can best 
bo . described In her owit words. , To 
the writer she said ; 

“ I felt tlio beginning id' this 'heredi- 
tary taint many years ago, in vagjie 
pains, which seemed to come unac- 
countably and at uncalled for times. 
They wore annoying, exhausting, and 
interfered not only with my duties, hut 
also totally destroyed my happiness. 
At first, they would lie only transient, 
appearing for a day or two, and thon 
disappearing; then- again they would

In tho course of my experiments,

, Fktiii Fkkt.— Few tilings are more 
disagreeable than "tlio pungent odor 
from tho feet of some people. This 
odor may arise from a "Hupersecretion," 
or unusual sweating, which may not 
always he washed away ; or it may 
ariso from disuase accompanied with 
more or less pain. However it -ihay 
occur, it is a source of annoyance and 
of disgust. The Practitioner ([notes M. 
Viensse, principal medical officer at the 
Military Hospital at Oran, as saying: 
“Excessive sweating of the feet, under 
whatever form ilappeara, can be quick- 
ly cured by carefully conducted lric- 
tioiyi with subnitrate of bismuth; aud 
even in the few cases when this sup- 
presses the abundant sweating only 
temporarily, itstill removes the severe 
pain and title fetidity which often ac- 
company tho secretion.” Any thing 
that will relieve the bad odor of the 
feet will f?e welcomed. 


Pillow for Chair or Sofa.— M ake 
a small round pillow, sixteen inches 
long and twenty inches round. It 
should not be stuffed hard. For, .an 
outside covering have four pieces, two 
of satin and two of plush. Cut them 
sixteen inches long aud Hoven inches at 
the widest part, and slope them to an 
inoh and a half at the ends. A pretty 
pattern of outline embroidery mBy be 
put upon the satin. Sew them together 
strongly, leaving one seam half open 
to put in the pillow. This must be 
sewed carefully, the ends drawn up 
and linisbed with cord and tassels, and 
a pretty silk cord attached to suspend 
it to the back of the chair. 

— - — 

Here is a plan for housewives to 
clean covers without wearing out their 
hands scouring with sand. Take strong 
soapsuds— a large iron or brass kettle 
two-thirds full— (what you boil your 
clothes in will do ;) put the lids in and 
boil them about twenty minutes, with 
a weight upon them to keep them down 
below the suds, ltemove one or two 
al a time ami scrape with a case-knife 
ail over good ; rinse in clear water and 
dry. They will look whiter than if 
scoured with sand, and romain clean 
three weeks, with care. Tinware may 
be cleaned easily and nicely by boiling 
it a few minutes In weak lye and thon 
rubbing with woolen cloths. 


" Did you try to cure it?” 

“ Yes, J tried everything, anti at last, 
went to tho IIotr Springs of Arkansas, 
ami nothing seemed to do mn any good 
until j tried Warner’s Safe Rbouinatid 
On re." 

“And it cured you, did it?" 

“ Yes. completely.” 

“ Ami you cau cordially recommend 
it?” 

“ Yes, indeed, more cordially titan 
anything liqvo over known of. It is 
simply a wonderful medicine. I be- 
lieve that two-thirds of all cases, both 
acute and chronic, could be cured as I 
was cured by the use of this remedy. 
In fact I know a number of persons 
who have been in the worst possible 
condition, and are now completely well 
wholly through its use." 

The statements above made are from 
sources, the authority of which can not 
lie questioned. They conclusively 
prove the value of the preparation 
named and show that even hereditary 
traits can be removed by tlie use of the 
proper means.

B. .1. Kendall A Go., Gentlemen:— I feel it a 
duty to others suderlng with the piles and falling of 
the rectum to write to you. I have had the piles and 
prolapsus of the rectum for live years, for the past 
three years I have sutVered the most agonizing pain. 
Tried everything without relief, hut after ten dayB 
use of Kdiulall’s Spavin Cure 1 have not seen or 
keard of the piles since. One who has not sull'ered 
as I have can not comprehend the great Joy that I 
feel at being cured of a disease almost worse than 
death. I had a valuable young horse tlmt had a 
large hunch gather on his breast hone. I tried all 
kinds of llnimentH and had it cut open without any 
heueilt. Bait' your advertisement and bought a bot- 
tle of Kendall’s* Spavin Cure and ordered my team- 
ster to use as directed, ill less than one week the 
lump had Jlsanpeared. Thinking tlmt a liniment 
that would do what Kendall’s Spavin Cure has done 
for my horse might benefit more. I tried It as a lust 
resort. WMli gratitude aud best wishes for your 
success. 1 am faithfully yours,

moral shipwreck and social destruc-

Can a planter sell his own cotton in 
New Orleans liy paying license 7 Does 
lie have to become a member of the 
Cotton Exchange before he can sell?, 
What is the amount of the license? 

A Times- Democrat reporter culled 
upon Mr. H. G. Hester, secretary of 
the Cotton Exchange, and got the fol- 
lowing answers to the questions : 

1. Any one can Hell cotton or any 
otlior produce in New .Orleans us . 
merchant hy procuring a propel license ; 
therefor. Licenses sre graded in their 
case according to the inixincss done 
and the amount of capital invested. 
Ttvo per cent, on receipts is the rule. 

2. It is not absolutely necessary for a 
party selling cotton to be a member oi 
llut-ilntton Exchange;, hut a member: 
ship thereof gives such advantages in 
the way of news and information and 
such protection under its laws that no 
party wishing to do a respectable busi- 
ness could afford to. remain outside 01 
the institution.

ing of his first visit to GaneRIdW 
Church, in 1845, he mentions Thomas 
I,eighton, the class leader, and says, 
“ If I remerabeivrightly, Bro. Leigh- 
ton had no sons.” Mis name was 
George , and not Thomas, and he had 
four sons— two of whom, George and 
Charlbs', are still living; the Dther 
two, William and Samuel, are dead. 
When I went to that circuit) as juniqr 
preacher, in 18GH, Bro. George Lelgh- 
tou had gone to his reward ; but his 
virtues were fresh .in the memories of 
the llviug, and his name was like 
ointment poured forth. His son, 
Samuel, was at that time superin- 
tendent of the Sunday -school at Cane 
Ridge, and a most excellent young 
I man. He died in the army during 
1 the late war. B. F. Jones— to whom

Some Reasons for a Stock Law, 

By a stock law I mean a law re- 


neighbor’s commons. (How can land 
be common that is owned ^y, indi- 
viduals?) The poor man’s lack of 
land stands upon the same reason 
with his lack of a house to live in, or 
animals to plow, or a full corn crib 
or a full purse. Society is under, no 
more obligation to furnish the poor 
man pasture than anything else' he 
needs., 

2. The only real objection is the 
dilllculty of abandoning a practical 
error. Having been long accus- 
tomed to treat all unfenced land as 
public property, bud to compel every 
man at immense cost to fence against 
the stock of his neighbor, it is really 
not very easy to adopt the practice of 
justice and right. Both reason and 
Scripture plainly teach that It Is 
every man’s duty to restrain the ani- 
mals lie owns from injuring others. 
Right principles properly applied al- 
ways produce good results. So soon 
as we become practically adjusted to 
the application of such a law, tile 
whole country, laudlordsaud teuauts, , 
will rejoice in its results, beiug sur- 
-prised-that they -were-so slow to seek 
them. Fence building is the Hercu- 
lean task of American' labor. It is 
the ever returning stone of Sisyphus, 


, airing every owner of live stock to j ro J le ‘ 1 to the mountain »°P. °“'y to 

roll down that it may be rolled up 


! keep them on his own land. There 
' are several good reasons for t He ex- 
! istence of such a law, especially in 
agricultural countries. 4 

1. With such a law the expense of 
I fencing would be greatly diminished. 

I Fences in the I'uited States have 
been estimated to cost more than ail 
j the stock in the country is worth. 

A small portion of eacli man’s laud 
! being fenced would furnish pasturage 
! for all ills stock. It is cheaper to 
fence stock in than to fence them out. 

| 2. Cultivated land would thus he 

saved from the greul injury of beiug 
trampled by stock in winter. The 
loss of the grazing of the Helds would 
be more than compensated by their 
fertilization from the decay of all 
unharvested vegetation. 

A considerable portion of eacli 
crop, now eaten up annually by stock 
breaking in upon the unfathered 


y Helds, would be saved. The annual 


dealers and the Prohibition Commit- 
tee. We had a large majority of the 
legal voters of the county on the 
petition for prohibition, and these, 
in ttie moat part, were, our best citi- 
zens and largest property holders. 

V few good citizens, however, have 
not thought best to give their influ- 
ence to this movement. Some fear it 
will lead to political trouble; others, 
that it will deplete the school fund, 
and others, again, that it will injure 
business. Every good cause is beset 
with difficulties because the whole 
world lieth in the wicked one. <Satan 
lias so wrapt himself around all the 
great interests of life as to preclude 
the possibility of effecting u reforma- 
tion in anything without friction 
somewhere, liven the kingdom of 
God Buffereth violence, and the vio- 
lent take it by force; but it must be 
taken. 

I am told that there was an excite- 
ment over this matter on the streets 
'of one of our towns when the bill 
passed the House some days ago. No 
doubt there was an excitement in 
hell at that time, for whisky is one of 
Satan's strongest allies ; but that that 
excitement should have reached our 
shores and found a response in the 
breasts of human beings is something 
over which to wonder and to weep. 

Miss Annie Linfleld, in the Advo- 
cate, of March 0, calls for explana- 
tions in regard to reports of the 
Woman's Missionary Society from 
several charges in our (Mississippi) 
Conference. I will explain for 
Crystal Springs. First. I included 
the amount raised by our juvenile 
society, as it was a creature of the 
Woman’s Missionary Society, and 
operates under its supervision. 
Secondly. I included the entire Con- 
ference year— from December, 1882, 

| *to December, 1883— without regard to 
the time of the annual meeting of 
the Conference society, which is in 
April. I was making report not to 
tlie Conference society, but to the 
Annual Conference of the Confer 
ence year’s work in my charge. 
Thirdly. ^1 included the amounts on 
hand as reported to me, as well as the 
amounts that had been remitted, so 
iw to give my church due credit for 
all she had done during the year for 
tlie cause of missions. 

Uro. Harris will allow me to cor- 


loss from this source alone under tlie 
tlie present system of fencing is, per- 
haps, one-tenth of tlie entire crop. 

4. Much more land would be culti- 
vated. Thousands of acres are uow 

flying idle for lack of fencing. Timber 
is too scarce and plank and wire, as 
well as rails, are too costly for these 
lands ever to be brought into culti- 
vation under the system uow gen- 
erally prevalent. The annual crop 
in many parts of tlie country would, 
perhaps, be increased by one-fourth 
or even one-third by a stock law. 

5. Much more small grain would 
he sown. The loss to the farmers of 
Mississippi from the non-raising of 
crops of oats, millet, barley, wheat, 
and other small grain, is irtimense. 
In large portions of the State almost 
no small grain is sown sorely for 
lack offences to protect it from stock 
during winter. 

6. Stock of all kinds would be great- 
ly improved. Even' in tlie great stock- 
raising regions of., Kentucky,- Texas, 
and other States, slock of all kinds 
is almost always kept in fenced pas- 
tures or in herds. We might have 
less stock, but we would have better. 
The promiscuous mingling of herds 
and general lack o( shelter during 
winter are sources of great deteriora- 
tion and loss. liven the law forbidding 
hogs to run at large in several coun- 
ties In this State, for the last four 
years, has caused manifest improve- 
ment in the number and quality of 
hogs in these counties. Jersey and 
other improved breeds of cattle can 
not he successfully kept under our 
present sy steal. 

7. Without assigning further rea- 
sons, a fundamental and all-embrac- 
ing reason for a stock law is, that 
right and justice require that every 
man should keep his stock on his 
own laud. A deed to laud embraces 
all its products and appurtenances 


again. Fences are being forever 
built aud rebuilt to tumble down 
or be washed away. Friendly will 
that legislation be which shall per- 
manently deliver Jhe planting world 
froiii the enormous expeuae and in- 
tolerable labor of fence building ex- 
cept’ for inclosing stock. Kucli a law, 
too, would be decidedly in tlie inter- 
ests of peace. Many a quarrel be- 
tween neighbors arises abouti mis- 
chievous stock. Hard thoughts, per- 
sonal conflicts and even family feuds 
of many years' duration ' have not 
ufifrequently owed their origin to 
tile essential Injustice of requiring 
one man to fence against another’s 
stock. Once, iu the days of old, it is 
said that devils were permitted to go 
from men into swine; in our times 
they sometimes seem to pass the other 
way, and cause tlie owners of tlie 
■swine -tu" Bay and do- -the - hardest 
sort of things. I f we are not prepared 
for such a law now, let us be looking 
toward it, for to it we must come ere 
long. . .\v. I,, < . ii. —

Mk. Editor: Since writing you 
last we have beeu having lloods of 
rain. For five years past but little 
rain had falleu aud the seasons had 
been unusually dry even for Cali- 
fornia, and the times were becoming 
distressing. It is said that one more 
dry season would have tmnkrupted 
this country. The benefit from the 
recent rains is estimated at 4)1,000,000 
to this country aloue. The rains did 
much damage also. The Southern 
Pacific raiiroai} was washed up iu 
many places between San Francisco 
aud Los Angeles, aud tlie great ,tun- 
uul caved in at both ends; trains 
were stopped for several days. This, 
tlie Sacramento Valley, was partial- 
ly inuudated. The town of Fresno, 
in l’’reHno county, north of here, 
was flooded, in some parts of it, five 
feet deep. All this was caused from 
the warm rains melting the snow in 
the mountains. Our little city lacked 
only two or three feet of being flood- 
ed. We are now liaving delightful, 
balmy spring weather; tlie fruit trees 
are in bloom and the ground is cov- 
ered with a carpet of rich green 
grass. Tlie rain aud mud interfered 
with and broke up our union meeting 
before we had time to accomplish 
any tiling. Our presiding elder, Rev. 
J. Ii. P. l’rice, was with us recently 
and gave us a week's preaching. He 
is a native of California, and his dis- 
position is as genial as its climate. 
He is without any undue affectation 
of style or manner— an excellent 
preacher. 

The ladles have organized a Wo- 
man’s Missionary Society iu this 
place, auxiliary to the Pacific Confer- 
ence Society, making the fourth 
auxiliary society ouly in the entire 
Conference. Tlie people are very 
indifferent concerning the mission- 
ary cause, aud some are openly op- 
posed to it, aud especially to mission 
work In China. They say that the 
Chinese here have disgusted them 
with the race. They do not take in- 
to consideration the fact that the 
Chinese who come to this country 
are 'Of Mie lowest class of Celestials, 


and that we should not Judge the 
whole Chinese race by those who are 
among us. It is generally tlie worse 
elaas of any nation who emigrate. 
What are the fin* impressions that 
are made on heathen nations concern- 
ing us as a people? \We form an 
Intercourse with them first usually 
through a commercial treaty, which 
allowB our trading vessels to enter 
thalr.portf and our merchants to es- 
tablish themselves in their centers of 
trade. The sailors are usually a 
drunken, wicked class,- too mean to 
live and not fit to dfe. The merchants 
engaged in foreign trade are general- 
ly ungodly men. What kind of Im- 
pression is made, I repeat, on tlie 
mind of the heathen concerning us 
and oiir boasted civilization? Sup- 
pose they were governed by tliefce 
first impressions, then would their 
homes lie closed against our mission- 
aries aud their hearts agaiust that 
ChriBt whom we profess to follow. 
Doubtless these first impressions 
have had their evil influences on the 
heathen world; but, thank God! 
they have had the gooiLjudgment do 
yield to better influences and teach- 
ings, and multiplied thousands of 
them are annually converted to tlie 
Christian faith. 

There is, perhaps, only about ten 
per cent, of the citizens of this State 
(including children over ten years of 
age) who are professed Christiaus. 
Ninety-nine out of every hundred iff 
the children aud youth under twen- 
ty-one years are out of any church. 
They seem to regard the church as 
an institution designed solely for the 
benefit of old people. It is nothing 
uncommon for boys to go hunting on 
Sundays while tiieir parents go to 
church, anil tlie parents seem to 
think it is all right. 

We have no Sunday law iu this 
State. be it said to its shame. lam 
told that a Sunday law existed on 
the statute hooks until the meeting 
of the last Legislature, which had a 
Democratic ma.joritg, when it was 
repealed. It was never enforced, 
and they claimed that it was inopera- 
tive; but why they repealed it and 
liiade lib btiier ilT-its-piace-is a qwesr-f 
tiou for grave reflection. L ast Sun- 
day, in this town, some were fence 
building; others were spading up 
their yards and others playing cro- 
quet: while off in the distance could 
be heard the sportsman’s gun, and 
up on Main street bar rooms, billiard 
saloons, candy shops aud gambling 
hells were open all day. It is a liv- 
ing disgrace to any State for such 
things to exist. Candor compels me 
to say these tliiugs. This is a rich 
country and these a prosperous peo- 
ple, but immeasurably poor toward 
God. 1 will write again by-aud-by.

Now, this long quotation from the 
appeal of the Board of Trustees for

clear light. The request Is reasonable. 
Surely one or two generous, broad-

give an amount equal to three cents

appeal Is made in the name o£, ChriBt,

several districts of the North Missis-

Prosperous Mission Work. 

Mu. Editor: Never before did 
our German mission work give me 
such pleasure as during the first 
round of Quarterly Conferences 
which closed with that of Buetoville, 
East Feliciana parish, on last Sun- 
day. Prosperity is noticeable all 
along tlie line. Visiting tlie various 
fields iu the country, tlie immigrants 
heed not large distance or bad roads, 
but gladly come to hear the word of 
God in their mother tongue. The 
familiar accents awaken reminis- 
cences of former days, of life in the 
fatherland, of religious vows made 
to Ciod aud sacred promises made to 
parents, aud tears thick ami often- 
times penitential pour down tlie 
cheeks of tlie brawny hearers, I am 
grateful to our church that it affords 
me and my colleagues to carry on 
this blessed mission- work. From 
Texas, too, reports assure that our 
work there is healthily' progressing! 
During the first Quarterly Confer- 
ence of Lluno circuit two young men 
were licensed to preach. Pray for us. 

Yours truly,

. 

nliou luting grace, 1884? Xay, let us 
expect large things of ( ) oil this year 
Our numerical strength, including 
ministers and laymen, according to 



-r Paine Institute. 

By the joint action of the Method- 
ist Episcopal Church, South, and the 
Colored Methodist Episcopal Church 
in America the 11 Paine Institute has 
been begun, but in a hired house. 
The trustees desire to secure at once 
permanent quarters for it. To do so 
they have sought to reduce expenses 
to the minimum, aud Increase 
througii some economical method of 
collection the Income of the institu- 
tion. At their recent meeting they 
determined to ask the church to give 
the institution an amount equal to 
tli roe cents per member. 'This amount 
will procure grounds and buildings, 
aud put the institution in position to 
secure help from other sources for its 
future mainteuauce. If the commis- 
sioner of education was charged with 
collecting this amount it would be 
necessary to pay his salary and trav- 
eling expenses, which would redtice 
the amount received for the institute. 
To ask the preachers in charge to 
collect it was adjudged not wise, see- 
ing they have so many collections 
already. It was determined, there- 
fore, to ask the presiding elders to 
undertake to raise an amount equal 
to three cents per member. Their 
superior judgment and discretion, 
aud the fact that in the territory oc- 
cupied by a district there are always 
a number of broad-minded men to 
whom to appeal, are reasons why it 
was thought the presiding elders 
could, without great Inconvenience, 
do this work. The board leaves' it to 
the wisdom of each brother to raise 
the amount by public or private ap- 
peal, as he may judge best, and only 


“This year, 1SS4, has been set apart 
for special exertions in behalf of 
church extension, education and for- 
eign missions. Every element of 
future Methodism is recognized 
herein, while they are precisely those 
forms of enterprise most in accord- 
ance with her past historic develop- 
ment.” 

The very fact that this is our Cen- 
tenary should elevate our thoughts 
to a higher plane and enlarge the 
sphere of our activities. Methodism 
is on trial this gear. Her polity, 
doctrines, history -all are passing 
under review. Her place amid the 
factors in our Christian civilization 
is being closely scanned. Shall 
thoughfui minds of other churches 
alone be turned to these questions? 
Self-knowledge has ever been com- 
mended as the greatest wisdom. 
Eacli individual Methodist should 
be on trial before himself to see how 
fully he understands and appreciates 
our Methodist history, how largely 
he lias experienced the great truths 
set fortli in lief doctrines. .The meas- 
ure of that knowledge and experi- 
ence will be tlie measure of liis inter- 
est and of his liberality during Cen- 
tenary year. Nothing can be expect- 
ed of those who are ignordlit of our 
history or wanting in Christian ex- 
perience. The monumental offerings 
of Centenary year will be made by tlie 
enlightened and thesplritual. What 
is this year more than any other to 
the Methodist who knows nothing of 
the wonderful century just closing, 
aud whose religious life Is too weak 
to keep ang birthdays witli holy 
gratitude? 

In many quarter^ the fondest hopes 
for Centenary year are being realized 
in tlie great spiritual quickening of 
our people. The revival notices are 
read with eagerness. Already several 
thousand conversions have been re- 


over nine hundred thousand souls 
Who does not see that we ought to . 
make it htot'Woii before the dose nf 
"our Centenary year.' t- t vr hnmlri ut- 
thoUsand soul* converted to God this 
year is not too large a Messing to 
crave and labor for in faith. There 
were times, particularly at, out the 
year 1800, when, under the ministry 
of the fathers, (lie increase was pro- 
portionately much larger than that 
in one year. With like laitii and 
singleness of purpose in will have 
our heart's desire. Many pastors are 
writing for information about metli 
ods. The methods are easily suggest- 
ed if the spirit lie not lacking; but 
methods can not take tlie place of 
tlie spirit. We are called Methodists 
because tlie spirit that wan in bur 
fathers fashioned channels of uctivlty 
hitherto unknown. So it will lie 
again, with our hearts and hands 
reudy for * lie Master’s work. The 
greatest need of t’eptenary year is a 
pbijple 'prepared lor the l,ord. Then 
will Jesus again see tlie rich casting 
their gifts into tlie treasury, and the 
poor widow bringing her mites, even 
all her living. 

The spiritual preparation opens 

ilTtfway lor tTR‘ 'gfvt'a't mastr meetings 

iu our cities and towns, and at our 
District Conferences and college com- 
mencements, when tlie key-note of a 
large liberality shall be sounded that 
shall be followed up not only on Cen- 
tenary day, but throughout the year. 

Let nothing exhaust our liberality 
that could be attended to as well any 
other year. I mprove your churches, 
remove all indebtedness, build par- 
sonages, if this can be done over and 
above your gifts to tlie great Oon- 
uectional objects set fortli for your 
Centenary thank-oflering. But leave 
anything undone rather than neglect 
thosegreat interests. Think of then: 
until the mind expands to take them 
iu, and your share of the two million 
dollars asked fqr iii their behalf 
Can any one think of less than >/, • 
tenth of his capita! vn at all meeting 
his obligation to God this C V ntenarg 
year? Is that too much to give to 
Christ, to whom you profess that 
yourself, as well as all that you have, 
belongs? On sueli a Oasis of giving 
as that, would we have any difficulty 
in securing the two millions needed? 
Let us educate ourselves “in larger 
ideas, in broader sympathies, iu wider 
ranges of exertion," so that wlieu we 
fill the subscription cards for church 
extension, education and missions on 
Centenary duy, it may indeed be as 
the Lord hath prospered us.

the Conference we were all welcomed 
by the children with a concert, 
which could not have been surpassed 
by any school at home. 

On Monday, at half-past eleven 
o'clock, we received a visit from the 
representatives of the , Methodist 
Episdopal, the Presbyterian and the 
Baptist missions, and oIbo from the

now working in Mexico. Speeches 
In Spanish wei;e made by each of the 
brethren ; four were Americans and 
two were natives. It was remarkable ‘ 
that all spoke of the Holy Ghost as 
the one impulse which stirred their 
hearts and crowned their labors. It 
was bracing to our own spirits to 
know that we were in unison with 
! these great churches of God in the 
work of spreading the kingdom and 
l truth of ChrlBt throughout Mexico.

The Progress of Disease. 


ftottBetiotl 


MISQJkL I. A NEOUS. 



We so unwilling to admit the presence of disease, fall a 
rcadyprey to the grim destroyer whqse-insidious approach, subtle 
progress and unseen workings, develops such fatal results. 
Let us be warned in time, lest it be "too late." 



.ire You Star It Is Consumption ? 

Many thousands full'/ believe the:/ or their friends arc being hurried ; 
toward the grave hy that terrible disease Consumption, and are being • 
treated for that disease, when they have only CATARRH in some of its 
many tupes+ llw-sgmptoms in many, forms of these diseases arc quitc. : 
sirhuar and can' easily he mistaken! Catarrh, unalarminn in ilscharac- 
tcr and beyiunimjs: neglected, dcvcldpcs and, spreads, and in time poisons 
the vital organs, until it finally is no longer “ONLY CATARRH but 
some disease Unit gnus but little, hope of health or life. We do not 
claim to cure Consumption, but arc fully convinced from the results of 
our daily practice thht ice cun save and restore to health many who 
now feel their rise to l r hopeless.' 



Signals. 


I>o you lake told easily? Have you a void in the head l lml does not not 
©©tier? Have von a ^lacking cough? Is your throat m flouted? Are you 
iron bled with hoarseness ? Sorenesw of the throat? Di HI cully in breathing? 
Have you pain in the head between ami above the ey es? A sense of Jobless in' 
ilia head? Are the passages of the nose stopped up? Is your breath foul? 
Hava you lost all smso ot smell? Are you troubled, by hawk ink? Spitting? 
Weak* inflamed eyes ? Dullness or dizziness of the head ? Dryness or heat of 
the nose? Is your voice harsh or rough ? Have you any diflieiilty in talking? 
Have you an excessive secretion of mucus or matter in the nasal passages, which 
must either be blown from the nose, or drop back behind the palate, or hawked 
or snuffed backward to the tliroHi? Hinging or roaring or other muses in the 
ears, more or loss impairment of the hearing? , 

If so, you have Catarrh. 

Snri . Inn i all the a.' syri plums, ni/irrs iiufg ii pui i. Some nf these symptoms 
indicate that t lie disease Ims psssed from tlie lpjail sml Ims attack nil the throat 
ami bronchial to ties, anil is etlectimr the Iiiiikh ami other vital orfrnns o;' the 
body, ami unless the disease is slopped, its ravages wilt effect anti endanger the 
■ li f e r- in meaf-easea-WitHM-rh is on ly it- leeaHl mease, and requires! -only local treat- 
ment. lint in old or neglected eases tint whole system (becomes p'oisoneil by the 
disease and tin n consliiutioual treatment is necessary to usslHt in expelling it 
r rom the organization. 

Some Bad Symptoms. 

The long continued corruption of the air that is breathed passing over the 
foul matter in the nasal passages, poisons the lunge and from thence the blood. J 
The morbid matter that is swallowed during sleep, passes Into the stomach, en- 
feebles the digestion, vitiates the Hecrotlons and pollutes the very fountains of 
life. The patient beropUss feverish occasionally, there is less buoyancy of spir- 
its, the appetite is oltcJLickle, the head less clear, it is ditlicult to keep the ener- 
gies up to the old standard, ami often without knowing why, lie is conscious 
that he is not as well all the time as he used to be. These symptoms indicate 
that the vital organs are becoming impaired so that they can not perform Lneir 
natural healthy lunctioqs. Our constitutional treatment is devised to assist 
nature in removing all poisonous material front the system and to neutralize 
and counteract its baneful effects on the vital organs and on the blood. / 

Do Not Trifle With Disease. 

We have the only known certain and reliable method for the cure/of Nasal 
'Oatarrh, Throat and Lung disease ; it is regarded by the best of judges as being 
the most complete treatment ever devised. Indeed, there does not appear to be 
anything lacking in its perfect adaptation to these diseases in all their loath- 
some, painful and dangerous developments. Kach case is examine^! into care- 
fully and critically and the whole treatment compounded to meet ^lio wants of 
each individual. To this fact alone, much of our success la due, and we think 
nocase is iucurable when our questions are properly answered. /Fifteen years

Adopt Coco hs and Cot, ns.— Coughs 
and eohlH are prevalent now, especially 
among children, loo often from the ig- 
Tioranoe or carelessness of their oldftr 
guardians. Many mothers appear to 
accept with resignation I lie repeated 
ami violent colds from wlill'h their 
children suffer ss providential and un- 
avoidable. A cold is by no means al- 
ways due to exposure. Indigestion, 
constipation, a lacs of scrupulous clean- 
liness, the unwise habit of sleeping In 
much or' the clothing worn during the 
day, unaired tied chambers -all or any 
ol "these things may have far more to 
do witli your. child's tendency to cold 
than the keenost breath of the bracing 
winter air. And in great measure these 
things are under your control. Mothers 
Hhould understand that it is a fact, 
whatlibr they ean see how it Is or not, 
that numerous colds and sore-tliroatH 
are directly traceable to Indigestion 
and dietetic errors. I J 'isnlilles of 
greasy food, fried nieats, pastry and the 
like, ill-ventilated rooms ami contin- 
i lied constipation, have lo answer for 
many cases of croup and putt ied sore 
i throats. All these things weaken the 
] system, and render it far leas able lo re- 
sist changes of temperature. (Jivo ;

day, more especially if sev eral children 
are .obliged to sleep together or with 
their parents. This is In bo avoided if 
possible : il not, always lower a window

Neglect of bathing is another/ prolific, 
source of colds. A child from/three to

amonttre bath twic e a week in winter.

aloosa, Ala., March 12.— About 
I 10 o'clock last nlglit a tornado paased 
j four miles east of Ibis place. The 
I swath of the cyclone was only about 100 
I yards wide, but It swept everything in 
’ its path. Where it passed through 
woodlands not a tree was left standing. 
No loss of life is reported, but the. de- 
struction of property is great nt this 
place. ” 

Chattanooga, March 13.— A terrible 
cyclone passed through a portion of 
Cherokee county, Ala., near Abbotta- 
ville, Tuesday night, tbe lirst particu- 
lars of which are.inst in. It was about 
half a mile wide, nnd touched tho earth 
only for six miles. Absolute destruc- 
tion marked its path, aud every bouse 
went down before it. 

Mrs. Tidmore ami Mr. Hess were in- 
stantly killed, and Mr. Tidmore and 
tho family of Mr. Frank, a larmer.were 
seriously injured.. Olio man, name 
unknown, was blown from a wagon, 
and torn to atoms. From thirty to 
for$ dwellings and stores were com- 
pletely demolished. Tbe crops were 
badly injured. Trees wero torn up by 
thdir roots, and fencing, ln some In- 
stances, was blown hundreds of yards.

Lvnchiii.’hg, Ya.. March 13. — A spe- 
cial from Pocahontas this morning 
says: There was ail explosion in the 
coal mines here last night at 12:30 
"o’ehJCkT PnlFparticulars oUthe afl air- 
represent the work of destruction as 
horrible and complete. There were 
150 men in the mine at tbe time of the 
explosion, not one of whom is believed 
to have escaped; Those not killed 
outright by tho terrible force of tbe 
explosion most likely perished from 
tbe after damp. The cause of the ex- 
plosion is not yet definitely ascertained. 
Tbe work of destruction was not con- 
fined entirely to tbe interior of the 
miD6, but bouses 200 or 300 feet re- 
moved from the mine were overturned, 
and in several instances entirely de- 
molished.

Not wisely laid ;

Some Explanations. 


An esteemed brother has written 
for light as regards the programme 
prepared and published by the 
Kxecutive Committee of the Louisi- 
ana Conference Centenary Commit- 
The Conference Committee 
elected Rev. Charles W. Carter, 
D. D., of New Orleans, to deliver the 
Centenary sermon before our next 
Annual Conference; fixed the amount 
to be raised at $ 50 , 000 -$ 20,000 for 
church extension, $10,000 for Cen- 
tenary College, $10,000 for Mansfield 
College, and $10,000 for domeetlo 
missions ; settled upon the last Sab- 
bath In May, and as many Sabbaths 
thereafter as may be necessary, to 
“ he observed as days o{ special Cen- 
tenary service ” In all our stations, 
circuits and missions, and appointed 
an Executive Committee, consisting 
of Bros. C. F. Evans, B. F. Alex 
ander and myself, to prepare and 
publish a Centenary programme for 
°ur Conference. Section 1 of that 
programme provides for mass meet- 
lugs to be held at Carondelet Street 
Church, in New Orleans, Shreveport, 
-New Iberia, Homer, Alexandria and 
Monroe. This was done In accord- 


and pastors in charge at those points 
will doubtless do what is best in the 
premises. 

Section 2, In accordance with the 
fifth resolution of the General Cen- 
tenary’ Committee, provides for a 
children’s day In June, the time to 
be fixed by the pastor. The exer- 
cises are to be by the children, and 
their ’hontributions to the cause are 
tlj.en to be gathered. 

Section 3 provides for a Centenary 
day at each District Conference. 
Tliesermon by the presiding^ elder, 
and the love-feast, are to be the chief 
features of the day. Of course, if the 
presiding elder and pastor shall think 
It best, the special collection for the 
charge where the Conference Is held 
can be then taken care of instead of 
In May. The presiding elders are the 
uniting links between 1 the .Bishops 
and preachers in charge, and so Cen- 
teuary sermons from them, as in the 
case and after the manner of Bishops, 
are likely to make strong impressions 
upon the people. Beginning the 
day with a real Methodist love-feast, 
crowded as it must be with precious, 
hallowed memories of God’s loving 
kiudnessesand rich blessings through 
the years agoue; the interest deep- 
ened by one of the presiding elder’s' 
best efforts, brlmfull of gospel meat 
and Divine unction, and the whole 
occasion wound up with a thank- 
offering from all the people in the 
shape of a “ big collection,” seems to 
be just the way to spend one day at 
our District Conferences. 

Bection 4 provides for the appoint- 
ment by each pastor of three men 
and women to 11 circulate centennial 
literature and secure subscribers for 
the New Orleans Christian Ad- 
vocate, aiming to place said paper 
in every family.” This committee 
is also to aid the pastor in all his 
Centenary operations. 

Bection 5 relates {o'! he very neces 
sary Improvement of our spirituality 
as a church, and stresses especially 
the importance of the “establishment 
and maintenance of class meetings 
in every congregation.” “Clearing 
the decks,” as Bishop McTyeire puts 
it, by getting iu all our usual col- 
lections not later than May 15, each 
section of the programme ought to 
bexarrieiLout. successfully and with 
ease. Iu addition to all this, our 
people are expected this year to pay 
all church debts aud to repair and 
build churches' wherever needed. 

Brethren, clerical and lay, let us 
move steadily on in the line mapped 
out, and we Louisiana Methodists 
will have no occasion at the year’s 
end to regret, that we laid ourselves 
out unto this blessed work.

Life of Bishop Kavanaugh. 

Mr. Editor : The death of Bishop 
Kavanaugh has produced a profound 
sorrow ^throughout Kentucky. Be- 
loved as he was by the entire church, 
yet in his own State his death will 
be more lamented than anywhere 
besides. He entered the ministry 
when there were only 18,098 Meth- 
odists in the commonwealth of Ken- 
tucky, and lived to see the church 
grow up to its present gigantic pro- 
portions, while he contributed' more 
largely than any other person to Its 
success. 

There Is scarcely a community in 

the State to which he has not 
preached the gospel of Christ, and 
but few persons can be found who 
have not looked upon his benignant 
face and felt the grasp of his hand. 

To say that Bishop Kavanaugh 
was Kentucky's favorite preacher, 
continuing such through a period of 
more than sixty years, would not be 
CAthollc in spirit,

day in May.. The presiding elders Wuno Queen, ky., M arch «, , 


A presiding elder of one year’s ex- 
perience said to me at Conference, 
last fall : “ I always had a sympathy 
for presiding elders, but now my 
sympathy Is Increased by experience. 

When I return to my pastorate the 
softest bed in my house and the best 
meal that my resources can aftord 
shall always be ready for my presid- 
ing elder." 

In many respects the presiding 
elder's berth Is no easy ouo. Those 
who think the office a sinecure have 
never held it. To 4 say nothing of 
protracted absences from home, the 
frequent changes of bells, the anfount 
of traveling involved, and the other 
iteniB of physical discomfort and 
labor, there is a constant strain upon 
the nervous powers and a weight of 
responsibility which makes the. posi- 
tion anything but a pleasant one. 
I'True, tbe law of compensation ob- 
tains here as elsewhere, aud there is 
much pleasure in the constant com- 
panionship of the preachers of the 
district aud iu the other social feat- 
ures of the work, while it opens to 
the earnest, diligeut, wide-awake 
man a large field of usefulness and 
influence. If he be a man oi insight 
and judgment, he can touch the 
church for good at vital points ; aud 
if he be a man of force anj} character, 
he will impress himself upon the en- 
tire district. He will project new 
enterprises, send his preachers into 
unoccupied territory, bring up the 
finauces and, if he be such a preacher 
as the presiding elder ought to he, 
he will quicken the church at his 
quarterly visits into renewed spirit- 
ual vitality. Every presiding elder 
should be something of a revivalist, 
aud every quarterly meeting ought 
to be an occasion of deep spiritual in- 
terest. Carlyle says that genius is 
an immense capacity for taking 
trouble, aud, if thiB definition be a 
correct one, every presiding elder 
Hhouid unquestionably be a genius. 
But four years of faithful work in 
this office is all that the church 
should require of any man at one 
time. J ustice to the office and justice 
to the man demands a change at the 
end of a quac(riennium. A man who 
serves as presiding elder longer then 
four years is apt to grow stereotyped, 
aud he will go through the round of 
his duties in merely a perfunctory 
manner. I know a few who have 
managed to be useful in the ottlce 
longer than the time indicated but 
they are the exceptions proving the 
rule. All the complaint against the 
off ce has arisen from keeping men 
in it until they had outgrown their 
usefulness. Then it is unjust to any 
man to keep him on a district longer 
than four years. His opportunities 
for Btudy are necessarily very lim- 
ited ; his time must be largely occu- 
pied with the work of the district; 
he is apt to become discursive and 
diffusive in his sermonizing, and the 
longer he remains out of the pastorate 
the more difficult does it become for 
him to adapt himself to his work 
when he is again placed on a circuit 
or station. For these and other rea- 
sons, I believe the General Confer- 
ence should limit a presiding elder’s 
term to four years, and keep him in 
the pastorate for the same length of 
time before allowing him again to go 
on a district. 

In our Conference none of the dis- 
tricts have over fourteen charges; 
but in the Missouri Conference, of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church, 
each district has from twenty-three 
to twenty-seven charges. They have 
only four white districts where we 
have nine. 

ThiB latter Conference met at Bt. 
Joseph, last week, Bishop Foss pre- 
siding. Their minutes of last year 
reported 17,802 members, and there 
was a slight increase this year. "In 
the same territory we reported last 
year 20,837 ; and 2,225 of their mem- 
bers are colored, which brings their 
white membership to only u little 
over half of ours. The Hannibal 
and Bt. Joseph railroad cuts North 
Missouri almost iu half. Their prin- 
cipal strength lies north of this road 
in the country bordering on Iowa, 
while we occupy almost the entire 
field south of the road. Dike most 
of the Southern Conferences, this is a 
mixed Conference, though a reso- 
lution was Introduced looking to a 
division on the oolor line. Most of 
the darkles seemed to be in favor of 
being set off to themselves, and I 


saw one enthusiastic colored brother 
hold up both hands when the vote 
was taken. The fact is that the 
Northern Methodist preachers in 
this country are no more anxious for 
a mixed Conference than we would 
be; but they hold on to the negroes 
for political effect and because they 
are not yet ready to “ go back on 
their record.” Some of their preach- 
ers told me that they were getting 
very tired of them, and the negroes 
themselves are growing disgusted. 
They have a few strong men in their 
Conference ; but 1 do not think that 
in this respect, they will compare 
favorably with our Conference.' Iu 
one rfespect, however, they have the 
advantage of us : they have a larger 
class of young men who are active 
and enterprising. They have few 
old men in active work, though their 
superannuated list is larger than ,| 
ours. One thing surprised me: the 
small amount they raised the past 
year for missions. Their total foreign 
aud domestic missionary collections 
only amounted to $2,214 415 — an in- 
crease of only $81 Over the previous 
year. Our Conference reported last 
fall .$5,705 for foreign, and $3,148 for 
domestic missions ; and our total as- 
sessment for both purposes this year 
is $14,255, aud we expect to raise most 
of it. 

Our Conference Church Extension 
Board has resolved to try to raise 
$10,000 of the half-million loan fund 
proposed by the general board as a 
centennial offering. The preachers 
of the Conference ure “clearing the 
decks” preparatory to beginning 
Centenary work on the fourth Sun- 
day in May. In my district most of 
the collections are already full, and 
the preachers promise me that the 
others will be by the first of May. 

The revival work is still going 
on throughout our Conference. Over 
five hundred conversions have al- 
ready been reported iu my district 
(l’lattsburg,) aud others are equal 
or not far behind. The union meet- 
ings in this city resulted in seven 
hundred conversions aud large ac- 
cessions to all the churches. About 
a hundred joined the three Southern 
Methodist Churches, making our 
strength in this city nearly seven 

hundred. . ■ —

been ours to query as to Its moral 
effects upon our community. If it 
should Jhe to increase our saloouH, 
with all their attendant evils; to 
make more bold the gambler and the 
man of chance; • to bring more Bab- 
bath-breaklng people; to Increase 
the homicides, and produce a more 
careless feeling as to their eternal 
welfare, it were a calamity indeed, 
morally, that we ever should have 
heard the whistle of the locomotive. 
But if it be that we shall thereby 
have more frequent visits from for- 
eign ministers, Bishops, D. D.’s, 
IjD.D.’s, temperance leoturers and 
mighty and valiant men of God, who 
shall come to us teaching in new and 
varied styles the old, old story, there- 
by attracting men by their spirit and 
eloquence to the cross of Christ, it 
shall prove to us a blessing indeed. 
Which shall it do? Ah'! there’s the 
question. 

Our first quarterly meeting lias 
just passed. The presiding elder was 
pleased, and everybody pleased Witli 
him. The best Quarterly Conference 
I ever attended ; every steward and 
nearly ev ery Other official present. 
A review of the work showed prog- 
ress, and the brethren evinced a care 
for the church and a willingness to 
work which was gratifying to the 
preachers. We tried hard one Bun- 
day to get up a boom and “ clear the 
decks,” and, whether iu accord with 
our faith or not, we made a glorious 
failure. Bo we have resorted to our 
quiet, persistent card system. Dur- 
ing the past three months we have 
had a perfect scourge of pueumonia, 
which lias been very fatal, taking 
from us several of our oldest and best 
citizens. Many of the brethren will 
sorrow to learn of the death of Bister 
Susan Massey, whom we buried yes- 
terday, having buried her last and 
only child, a young man of twenty- 
six years, just one week before. Thus 
passed away iu a few years a whole 
family of father, mother, daughter 
and sous. 

. The river with us is beginning to 
rise quite rapidly, with considerable 
water behind. Borne fear a repeti- 
tion of '82; others think 1833’s water 


amid rolling hills and narrow valleys 
swept by quicksand creeks, and is as 
healthy, I sfi tprtse, as any part of the 
Uijjon. It used to be almost inac- 
cessible. The Valley road has com- 
pletely remedied that difficulty. 
The fine moral influences that are 
thrown around a boy here are also to 
l>e considered. I do not think they 
can he much better anywhere. I 
hope the hcIiooI may have continued 
and increasing success.

Suggestions to the Mississippi Confer- 
’ence by Their Centennial Committee. 

1. Let our preachers discourse not 

once, but many times, upon the dis- 
tinctive features of Methodism; let 
them postour people upon the origin, 
tlie history, the doctrines and the 
polity of our church. j. 

2. bet the suiiject, "Thedlundretb 
Year of American Methodism," be 
made prominent at District Confer- 
ence®, Quarterly Conferences, church 
.Conferences, in prayer meetings, in 
class meetings, iu Sunday-schools 
and at tbe Boeial gatherings of tbe 
people, 

3. Let special .effort- lie made to 
circulate the Advocate, and to en- 
courage our people to read upon tbe 
year we celebrate. 

4. Let a class meeting be organized 
at every church. 

•5. Let a Centennial Committee, 
composed of tbe most faithful and 
enterprising members, male and 
female, be appointed in each society, 
whose duty it shall he to project 
plans, to devise ways and means, to 
be foremost in all efforts to make the 
year fruitful of glorious results. 

0. Let the District Conferences be 
held on different Babbaths; but as 
near tbe same season aH possible, so 
that a Bishop or special speakers may 
attend them all. 

7. I,et the pastors arrange a .pro- 
gramme of centennial services for 
the last Babbath in May (aud ill cir- 
cuits and missions as many suc- 
cessive Babbaths thereafter as may be 
necessary.) Let them appoint per- 
sons to prepare sketches of local 
churches; others to make appropriate 
addresses or sermons, aud exhort ail 

I to make ready a liberal-tliank-ofliir 




M r. Editor: "The bridge across 
the bayou is done,” is the unanimous 
exclamation of our citizens. Well, 
what of that? says the reader. Noth- 
ing, perhaps, to the great majority ; 
but to us, and those acquainted with 
our little city, by the river, under 
the hill, it means that the long-ex 
pected and impatiently waited for 
railroad has fairly entered our town 
About two and a half years ago the 
first surveys for locating the road to 
this place were begun," and a little 
more than one year ago the work on 
the now Y. and M. V. road was 
begun. Again, it means to us a more 
thorough introduction to the world 
and a more rapid and convenient 
means of access to other places of 
business. The much dgeaded “old 
stage,” as many were wont to call it, 
has shown signs of decay and final 
desertion for some months past, and 
ere many weeks shall have passed 
we will bid farewell forever to those 
familiar old coaches which have 
served us so well and. so faithfully 
these many, many years. Yes, sir; 
we have entered the restless, busy, 
rapid railroad world. No more 
stages for us. But some, I think, 
will sadly part with the faithful old 
friend, whioh was such in time of 
need.

I had the pleasure of beiug present 
at the intermediate exhibition of 
Centenary College, Jackson, La., on 
Friday, March 7. Thp evening was 
very damp — part of the time raining 
furiously; yet the attendance was 
large and orderly. Five young men 
confended in oratory fora gold medal. 
Mr. George Galloway, by a hair’s 
breadth, was the successful man. 
Two others of the class were about 
his equals in oratory. Sweet music 
by a string band — one of the best 
combinations according to my taste— 
was interspersed through the ex- 
ercises ; extempore speeches at 
the close. This part of the pro- 
gramme tries some of our more timid 
friends. To be vociferously called 
for— Speech! speech! speech!— when 
there is not a morsel within a mile 
of your mental grasp that you think 
would do at all to say, makes a man 
feel small. On one occasion some- 
whatlike this a gentleman was called 
for. He ascended the stage perfectly 
serious, adjusted his eye-glasses, drew 
from his pocket a paper, unfolded it, 
and began, "Being very unexpected- 
ly called upon on this occasion," etc. 
He was a little unfortuuato in his 
efforts at concealment. 

There are more students in the col- 
lege department at Centenary this 
session than at any time since the 
war; iu the preparatory department 
about the same as last year. This 
institution so ably officered, so health- 
fully situated, and so accessible since 
the Valley railroad passes it, ought 
"to be largely patronized. 1’resldent 
Rush has been called— and by those 
who ought to be able to judge— one 
of the best scholars of his age In the 
South. Aud his heart is iu his work. 

Louisiana was once a&ociated in 
my mind with long moss, marsh and 
malaria. But Jackson is - situated 


ing to tlie God of our fathers who 
hath mude us to “ grow into a multi- 
tude in tlie midst of tlie earth.” 

8. Let the Sunday-schools arrauge 
for a Centenary celebration iu Juue. 
•If on a week day, a pic-nic or an ex- 
cursion might add to the interest. 
Let appropriate songs and addresses 
be provided, and let the children eacli 
and all be encouraged to save up 
money to contribute to the great 
cause. 

9. Let tlie preachers and the peo- 
ple, let the old aud the young, let 
male and female be united in heart- 
felt and continuous prayer unto the 
great Source of all success that as iu 
the past, so in the future, aud even 
more abundantly, we may have oc- 
casion humbly, yet exultingly, to 
sing : “ Great and marvelous are thy 
works, Lord God Almighty; just 
add true are thy ways, tbou King of 

saints.” 1

There are fearful delinquencies upon 
the part of many in attending the ordi- 
nance of the word. Such delinquencies 
certainly exert a very deleterious in- 
fluence upou-.the world, and are con- 
siderable bars to the prosperity and 
spiritual development of our people. 
Looking at the church from this stand- 
point our prospects appear gloomy; 
but, notwithstanding these discourag- 
ing features, I am not inclined to think 
that there is no hope, and that the 
church is not doing great good. As an 
evidence, I say close our church doors 
and have no more preaching, no more 
Sabbaths, no more prayer meetings, no 
more ordinances, no more Sabbath- 
schools. Let us bear no longer the 
gladdening sound of the church bells 
as wafted out upon the breeze of the 
quiet Sabbath morning, reminding ub 
of-'a Christian Sabbath, a Christian’s 
Bible, of tne preached goBpel, and the 
mellow songs of /Jou, and the fervent 
prayers of faithful servants of God, 
who areashamhd not to be found in the

this be done, and instead of the peace

Death of Bishop Kavanaugh. 


<* VVe made a brief annouucementHiogi 
last week of the death of our revered® B do 
chief pastor, but a more ex tended ■doc 
notice of his character and career islgatl 
due our readers. He passed peace-® BO ci 
fully away on the early morning of®he i 
March 10 front the parsonage in®tha 
Columbus, Miss., after a painful Ill-Hmei 
ness of two or three weeks. To himBglai 
was given “length of dayB,” and® B 
grandly did lie fill up the measure of* was 
a laborious and glorious life andPin I 
ministry. Au honored son of Ken- pot 
tucky, to his native . State he was of 
proudly, devotedly attached, and it one 
was fitting for IRb body to be carried of 
home and laid to rest in the generouB ub< 
soil that gave him birth. He was ten 
born in Clarke county, January 14, pul 
1802 , and inherited' on liis mother’s po. 
sid<> a noble line of Methodist antes- st a 
try. His grandfather, Dr. Thomas fell 
Hinde, raukB among the most his- bit 
toric characters of early Methodism gos 
in the then pioneer State of Ken- im 
tucky. His father dying Mieu he me 
was quite a boy, he went out to serv- he 
k ice, and apprenticed himself to Rev. th 
r Mr. Lily, a Presbyterian minister, ae 
as a printer. At sixteen years of age of 
he was converted, and united him- co 
self with the Methodist Church, and f e( 
at once gave evidence of that spirit- w< 
ual zeal and consecration that madeBan 
his ministry so powerful and suecess-fflsa 
ful. In 1823 he was admitted on®m 
trial into the Kentucky Conference, Mgr 
and without a break in his effectiveHth 
itinerant labor continued to preachlhc 
the word with unremitting ardorHil] 
until the cross was exchanged for®v< 
the crown. He went up from theRpi 
field of battle— the veteTau victor of*i a 
many a struggle. Bgl 

M HIh iword was !n bis hand, rojoi 

• Still «>or« w*f/A fettt) trtffht.” 1 

At the General Conference of 1854HJJ 
he was elected to the office of a® r , 
Bishop, and with genuine reluetanceBL, 
and humility assumed its great andH^ 
multitudinous responsibilities. HL, 
Without tracing in minute outllneffif, 
the bare facts of our dear old Bishop's®,) 
remarkable ministry, we will in-l c 
stance and emphasize those salient®), 
points of character that gave himBp 
greatness. Mp 

First. Because foremost and most®) 
important, he had a clear coni , ersion® I 
and an inspiring Christian erpe-Wf 
riencc. He preached a living Christ.Bj 
Religion to him was not a theory, HI) 
but a joyful reality. His conversion® 
was a radiant, distinct, supernatural®) 
fact, and it gave a glow and confi-l] 
deuce to his faith that no doubt or®) 
temptation could cloud or eclipse. 
"Cold form and lifeless dogma could® , 
not contain a soul aflame with a per-®] 
petual pentecost of fire, He dwelt®' 
amid the higher spiritualities, and®, 
preached out of a full heart and a®, 
rich, ripe, glowing experience. He® 
talked notol an unknown and unfelt® 
Christ, but of a personal, ever-present® 
and all-powerful Saviour. He /.ticu’S 
whom he bad believed, and thrilled® 
the church because of his very abun-gc 
dance of spiritual revelation. 

'£ Bishop Kavanaugh had a phe- 
X nomenal catholicity of spirit. No nar- 
1 row, pent-up ecclesiasticism confined 
v the power and expression of his 
(Christian charity. Evangelical above 
^sectionalism or sectarianism, he had 
gi) a brother’s hand and kindly word 
■I for every true eon of God. Though 
flSlUmly denominational, he was 
■Awarmly and Scripturally fraternal. 
K)An ardent Methodist, he bade every 
®^«vangelieal church a hearty, prayer- 
\,ful God-speed. There was in him 
’nothing of the partisan. His Chris- 
tian love knew no race nor creed, 
nor points of the compass. Though 
severely tried, suspected and perse- 
cuted during the war, because he 
, v twas a Southern Methodist Bishop- 
arrested and arraigned on'frivolous, 
groundless charges— he prosecuted 
his one work without fear or favor, 
stain or compromise. Nor did he 
nurse any antagonism or trace of 
bitterness toward the enemies of his 
life and character. He was con- 
spicuous as an advocate of fraternal 
relations with the Church, North, 
and rejolped when the same .was 
. established. 

The Bishop bad a refined and irre- 
pressible humor, worthy the genius 
of Sydney Smith. This, chastened 
id controlled by a consecrated pur- 
*e and kindly heart, made him 
■e of the most genial and charming 
companions. Few men excelled] 
m lu .the sparkle and readiness of 
genuine wit. The monotony Of 
nferenoe sessions was often en-| 

ted by his pointed anecdotes and 
snt witticisms. They were pun- 


gent or sparkling as the occasion ln-Mtln 
dicated. H1 b fund of anecdote seem-Bso 
ed to be Inexhaustible, and were atlto 
times the striking ami telling lllus-lCs 
trations of his serinona and Confer-lbe 
ence addresses. • 

Bishop Kavanaugh wns a tlicolo-Wgi 
\/ian. He studied with profound In-® 
terest the Bible as a system of doc-RM 
trine, and in the hnuds of his rareRto 
analysis its teachings formed a har-Rfo 
monious and perfect whole. Inde-RH 
[pendent in inquiry and exhaustively 
In investigation, he wasyet conserv-Rn< 
lative and reverent to an eminent de-Rai 
Igree, and had no patience with tlieo-Rsl 
logical empirics or adventurers. HeRin 
adopted the Arminian statement ofRn; 
doctrine entirely, and from investi-RO 
gatlon ; not by family Inheritance or®ui 
social influence. 8o thoroughly hadRd: 
he ranstered the science of theologyHsi 
that the slightest divergence in state-Rh 
ment or tendency was detected at a®w 
glance. H 01 

But the Bishop’s greatest gljOryHll 
was as a preacher. He was a ^ master® t( 
in the pulpit It was his throne ofRli 
power, anil there he shone as a BtarRl 
of the first magnitude. Uniting atBai 
once the logical acuteness and Bklllfla 
of the metaphysician with the ex-Rc 
Uberant imagination and 'exultantlr 
temperament of the poet, lie was aRb 
pulpit orator of almost peerless®!) 
power. Rigid in analysis, clear in® 
statement, logical in argument, andHa 
felicitous in, illustration, he com-Rr 
billed all the elements of a masterful® | 
gospel preacher. Argumentative and® f 
imaginative, lie convinced the judg-Rl 
ment and aroused the conscience — Kf 
he instructed the intellect and stlrredBi 
the soul. Some of his miglityBl 
achievements in the pulpit partook® : 
of the marvelous, On occasions vast®; 
congregations were lifted to theirSE' 
feet by the resistless charm of hislj 
wonderful eloquence. He reveled® 
amid the celestial delights of the® 
saints, and kindled many a camp® 
meeting Into a pentecost by his® 
graphic descriptions of the glories of® 
the redeemed. At such times his® 
homely face shone with a heavenly® 
illumination, and his clear, clarion® 
voice had u flule-iike sweetness and® 
power. Bishop Kavanaugh was the® 
last of that old school of pulpitfi 
slants of which Bascom was the 

I entral and grandest figure. 

As a Bishop in the church, his ad- 
ninistration was characterized by 
are gentleness, and an entire ab- 
enceof the air and port of authority. 
Imiable and guileless, he lacked 
ome of the sterner metal necessary 
or a model administrator.* Abun- 
lant kindness, no doubt, sometimes 
loutrolled his better judgment, both 
n the assignment of preachers and 
he enforcement of law. But in 
jurity of purpose, singleness of aim, 
nnooence of unholy ambition, sweet- 
iess of temper, serenity of spirit, and 
;ransparent beauty of character, his 
name will shine among the most 
Illustrious of our chief pastors. 

The funeral services in Broadway 
Church, Louisville, the sermon by 
Bishop McTyeire.and the vast mourn- 
ing multitudes that early sought the 
Bpacious temple, were a worthy trib- 
ute to the apostolic character and 
labors of Kentucky’s distinguished 
son. With a lender band and an 
appreciative heart, responsive to his 
warm personal friendship, we lay a 
flower upon his peaceful grave. 


Incidents of the Last Illness and Death of 
Bishop Kavanaugh. 

UY MItS. LUT1H 1’AINE SCUUOGS. 


Mr. Scruggs left Columbus, this® 
morning, with Mrs. ^Kavanaugh, forH 
Louisville with the remains of ourjj 
much-lamented Bishop Kavanaugh, 
'and requested that I should Wflte 
]you of the last illness and death of 
the Bishop. 

The announcement of this death 
must have been both a sorrow and 
a surprise to liis many friends; for, 
although be had attained an advanced 
age, he was so youthful in his feel- 
ings, so hale and hearty in appear- 
ance, that we were apt to forget that 
he was the "old man eloquent,” and 
hope for him many years more of 
useful labor. 

He left Kentucky, In the early fall, 
to preside over the' Conferences as- 
signed him, attending the Virginia 
at Richmond, the Mississippi at 
Natchez, and the Louisiana at New 
Orleans. While in the latter place 
he preached his last sermon, on Feb- 
ruary 10, In Dr. Markham’s Presby- 
terian Church. After a sojourn in 
New Orleans of several weeks, and a 
pleasant visit to his old friend, Col. 
W. R. Stuart, of Ocean Springs, 
Miss., he came to our city, Feb- 
ruary 27, in fulfillment of a prom- 
ise made many months ago. He was 
quite feeble when he reached Colum- 
bus ; but it was hoped he would 
regain his health after the fatigue of 
the trip had passed off. Blit such 
was not the case. Indeed, he grew 
so alarmingly ill that his physicians, 
Drs. Lipscomb and Vaughn, pro- 
nounced him in a moat critical con- 
dition, and advised his wife to return 
at once to Kentucky with him. But 


the Bishop was such a sufferer, and® 
so loath to leave, that it was decided! 
to move him from the residence of! A 
Capt. C. A. Johnston, where he had! cate 
been hospitably entertained, to the® r 
Iparsonage, where Mr, Bcruggs could H or 1 
give him his personal attention. I on 
This move was effected on Monday, H are 
March 10, without any inconvenlenceRsGp 
to him, and the following three ornjsubi 
four days he seemed to improve. Rseei 
However, there was one un favorable Bl ,a81 
symptom: a desire to sleep. HehadRhov 
no disposition to converse, and, when®»nd 
aroused from a heavy,, unnatural® Cor 
sleep, would answer Incoherently or®» 11 
in a brief way as possible and lm-Heco 
mediately relapse into drowsiness.Rof t 
On Thursday, March 12, he was un-HThi 
usually sleepy until the close of the®ma 
day, when he passed from out of theBrea 
state of lethargy, was, able to leaveRcre 
his bed and spend a social evening®abc 
with us. The inight was a dismal®" a 
one. The rain fell in torrents, theBcifa 
lightning flashed and the wind blew®the 
to our utter dismay; but the goodHme 
Bishop heeded none of these things.Hat 
He wns so bright and cheerful as weRlia: 
sat aroifrtf^the parsonage hearth® em 
and h ea’rd^ Um q uiz his wife by. re-®tor 
counting tneir^etjurtship and mar-Hthi 
riage (nineteen yekrs agjT,) and tell of ® l)r< 
his trials as a younV^tinerant in theBelu 
mountains of Eastern Kentucky. Rcoi 
One incident which he toldHgh 
amused him, and lie laughed im-Mtln 
moderately over it. You willHstr 
pardon the digression if I recount it,Hmi 
as it engrossed his thoughts the lifetBRoi 
jjjlucid moments of his life. On bisHas 
Blfirst circuit there were twenty-fourHin 
■appointments, and on one occasion® pa 
She spent Saturday night with hisntic 

■ most aristocratic members. SundayHal 

■ morning t lie gentleman of the liouseRsse 
K could not leave home, and requested ®dt 

■ the young preacher to escort twoHal 
Hyoung ladies (who were, like himself, Ihi 
■visiting the place) to church. TheBol 
■ladies were intelligent, accomplished,® vl 
Band the superiors of their neighbors;® 
[Bso he naturally enjoyed their society.® g, 
iBThe day was a pleasant one, andHu 
(■they rode leisurely, reaching theHif 
iBcliurch as the congregation wasHo 
iBasBembling. He assisted the ladies® v 

!to dismount, attending to tlieir®$ 
L\orses, after which he went into G 16 ® 8 
pulpit.' At the conclusion of thegt 
service he bade his friends good-by,® i 
and started to another appoiutmentHc 
many miles distant. "Imagine niyl( 
surprise,” said he, "when upon re-® 8 
turning to this appointment after an® t 
absence of a month, as I began the®! 
opening service, I was interrupted®) 
by one of the stewards, and requested® t 
not to proceed with my sermon as® 
the church had charges to prefer®, 
against me for escorting two ladies toBi 
church, and even to be so indiscreet® 
as to aasist them from their horses.® 
The church could not tolerate such® 
behavior. She wished a minister in® 
her pulpit, and not a gallant. Well,”® 
stHsaid the Bishop, laughingly, “ I told® 
I® them I had no defense to make, hut® 
iy® would simply state I would do the® 
lyKsame thing again ; and before the® 
n-Jjyear had closed they were heartily® 
ae® ashamed of their conduct, and to this® 
b-Bday it is told in that neighborhood® 
id® with mortification.” 
ed® It was ten o’clock when he finished 
anBthe recital of this little incident. , He 
its® complained of being weary and de- 
aRsired to retire. Mr. Scruggs asked 
Shim to pray with us if he was able, 
B which he did, kneeling and invoking 
f Bthe blessing of God upon us in a low, 
of Btremulous voice. This was his last 
■ rational act, except th* recognition 
Rof a frldnd next morning. He had a 
■severe rigor during the night, which 
hisRwas succeeded by a comatose state! 
forjSfrom which he never rallied entirely.! 
mrwsklllful physicians and good nurses! 
StyiRdid what they could to alleviate hisl 
ifeRsufferihgs and stay the hand of death.! 
of «But jae rapidly declined, and onj 
■Tuesday morning, March 18, the sad 
GhRfact was realized that the Bishop 
Lnd® waa dying. During that day he was 
r °L«in a heavy stupor, each breath becom- 
cedRiog more labored, and the following 
sel-»morning, at three o’clock, he passed 
(ar-B aW ay. 

hat Mrs. Kavanaugh will deposit the 
ind remains in a vault in Louisville un- 
i of til she can confer with the Bishop’s 
family regarding the proper place for 
’all, final interment. The goodly people 
as- of Columbus feel that it has been a 
inia great privilege to administer to the 
at dying wants of this great and pious 
few man. Bishop Kavanaugh was my 
lace father’s colleague in the episcopacy 
i ’eb- for thirty years. They loved and 
iby- revered each other In this life; they 
i in are reunited now “ where sickness 
id a and sorrow, pain and death are felt 
Col. and feared no more.”

The Mania of No Deficits. pth< 

A writer In the Nashville Advo-»fl ft 
catesays some pointed and pertinentjB)t;| 
things on the subject of assessments®),^ 
for ministerial support and the rela® re , 
tlon of presiding elders thereto. WeH a ci 
are distressed about the meager® wl 
stipend on which our pastors have to® !U] 
subsist. The average “ allowance ”® \ 
seems to have decreased within lhe®w 
past several years, until we wonder® a r 
how many families are maintalned® ar 
and how the heroic pastor can go to®y ( 
Conference with a smiling face andHp, 
a new suit of cloth. But the rlgidB n] 
economy and self-denying drudgery® cc 
of the home are not seen and known. B)| 
There should be an advance in tliiB® gf 
matter of pastoral support. One®j) 
reason and explanation for the de-l r ] 
crease is stated by the correspondent® 
above referred to in what he calls® 

“ a mania o'n the subject of no defi-W 
cits." Assessments aie reduced to® 
the minimum to assure full pay-H^ 
ments and the pleasure of reporting® 
at Conference all the collections in® 
hand. And the preachers sometimes®' 
encourage the policy. There Is 
toral pride in being signalized on®L 
the Conference floor as having®^ 
brought up a clear fiscal report, in-jl 
eluding one’s own Balary. SuchHL 
comparisons are odious and eulo-H^ 
gies ill-timed, unless we considerJL 
the several assessments and finaucial®^ 
strength of the congregations. A® 
meager assessment on a wealthy P as ‘|g r 
torate, if fully paid, is poor liberalltyj|i 
as compared with a larger apportion-® 
ment to a weaker congregation only® 
partially met. For such diserimina-S 
tions to be fair and stimulating toBf 

I , there must be, no inequality of as-M 
lam ents . But this “mania of nojg' 
fleits"” has “so reduced' the pastor’s® 
owance until sell-denial cheapens® 
s self-respect, and becomes a rochEg 
offense instead of a Christian® 

There is an educating force in a® 
tod assessment. It indicates spirit-H 
d appreciation and enterprise. It® 
a mark to be reached, and worthy® 
' the truest grace of liberality. W e® 
ould rather have an assessment offfi 
iOO with only fOOO paid than a 
dary of $400, every cent in hand— 
lat is, provided $S00 could be real- 
:ed if each member contributed ac- 
jrdiug to ability. So long as the 
hurch fails to observe this rule, low 
ssessments are a compromise with 
uty and an apology for covetous- 
ess. Let the figures stand there as 
he imperial call of conscience, 
bough never reached. 

Brethren sometimes say to the 
tewards: "Don’t assesB any more 
han you are sure of paying. We 
:an not live on promises.” And the 
itewards in response say: “That is 
mr idea exactly. We always pay 
vhat we promise.” Very good, pro- 
vided the promise is the full measure 
>f duty. But if not, it needs inter- 
nent with that other musty morsel 
lid avarice has rolled under his 
tongue for ages, viz.: “Charity be- 
gins at home.” They are near of 
kin, and should sleep in a common 
grave. A deficit on a Scriptural as- 
sessment, after faithful, prayerful 
effort, is far better than full reports 
on a stingy, starving allowance. 
There is an evil in this mania of no 
deficits, and we here and now lift 
the danger signal. v 

A Good Law.- ^ 


the higher spiritualities. But, on 
the other hand, the immoral in- 
flames the young imagination, and 
it is soon " set on fire of helh” A gen- 
tleman strongly contended^wlth us 
recently that boys ought to be early 
acquainted with the tyays of the 
world that they might take warning 
and be strengthened against evil. 
A false and most dangerous policy. 
We pity any son will) is so reared 
and prophecy for him a career of sin 
and shame. , As long as possible the 
young mind should be kept unsolled. 
Let it grow into the strength of 
manhood in the contemplation and 
companionship of the pure, the beau- 
tiful and the good, and then the vul- 
gar and sinful will shock and offend. 
He will flee from It and cling to the 
right. 


An Afternoon at Amite. Br 

In response to a request from thel^ 
ladies of the Wesleyan Society at® 
Amite City, La., wer spent last Wed-® 
nesday afternoon in that place, and®j 
delivered a lecture in behalf of the®, 
new church. It was a most enjoy-®! 
able visit, and notfdooh to be forgot-l 
ten. Our little congregation there,®^ 
amid many discouragements and®] 
embarrassments, have done nobly. I 
About fifteen months ago their® 1 
church building was destroyed by® 
fire, without a dollar of insurance.® 
But nothing daunted, they renewed® 
zeal and effort, and have nearly® 
ready fof occupancy a neat frame® 
church of tasteful design and ample® 
accommodations. They have also a® 
comfortable little parsonage, quite® 
well furnished, in which their faith-® 
ful and highly esteemed pastor, Rev.® 
J. M. Pugh, is pleasantly domiciled.® 
We attended the prayer meeting atK 
four o'clock, and was delighted with® 
the numbers present, the spirit of 
the occasion and the manner of its 
conduct. Indications seemed favof- 

I able for a great awakening. Nearly 
every person in the house repeated 
an appropriate passage of Scripture, 
on which the pastor made a pointed 
comment. It was, indeed, a prayer 
class meeting, full of spiritual life 
and power. 

fll At seven o'clock a fine audience 
■assembled to hear the promised lec- 
■ture on “ Illustrious Dunces.” That 
■so many filled the church was a 
■ pleasant surprise. Unless in excep- 
Btional communities, our people have 
■ not attained unto the idea and value 
Hof lecture courses. Quite a nice little 
Rsum was realized for the building 
■ fund. With many warm haud- 
,®grasps we hurried away, and at a 
'■quarter past eight was bounding 
'■homeward with all the speed of 
j® steam. 

'■ Our friends are profuse in their 
■ grateful acknowledgments to the 
.■Baptist and Presbyterian brethren 
B ®for giving them shelter during the 
..■long months of their church home-

Jealous for the Lord of Hosts. 

Two traits not peculiar to Elijah 
are discoverable in this expression : 

1. The making a merit of zeal, as if 
that brought God under obligation. 

2. An expectation of approval from 
the world, whose course was con- 
demned by his teachings and life. 

There is a circumlocution in the 
words which may be noticed.. In- 
stead of answering God’s question 
directly, "Whatdoest thou here?” 
he begins away back, and winds up

uuder the restraints of the act. Theltural, and had perhaps the benefit of 
penalty for each violation is a Hoc* teaching him that the reaction of 


not exceeding one thousand dollars 
or twelve months imprisonment. 

That is a good law, and should he 
enforced. We are encouraged at the 
growth of a moral sentiment that 
demanded such a measure from the 


popular opinion was nothing more 
than thmreappearance of depravity, 
hid for the moment by the fire from 
heaven. Miracles convert very few 
unbelievers. "They would not be- 
lieve though one rose from the dead.”

We notice in the Southwestern 
Presbyterian an item of news that 
furnishes a good suggestion. Judge 
Fentress, of this city, founded the 
Sunday-Bohool library in the church 
at San Saba, Texas, known as the 
“Thomas Fentress Library,” in 
memory of a son. That example 
might be emulated to profit in all 
our Sunday-schools. We need books 
—good books, carelully selected— for 
the children to read during the week. 


trators of justice are uctive and 
watchful the law will be a school- 
master to bring the people to a 
higher plane of public morals. 

The evils of an obscene’ ,r and im- 
moral literature are tjeyond calcula- 
tion. Tne innocency and purity of 
many a young mind has been cor- 
rupted and poisoned by popular pic- 
torial newspapers. Art refines and 
ennobles when the pencil is wielded 
by a hand as pure as skillful. But It 
may be an agent of infinite evil. Be- 
fore some lofty conception of a genius 
whose soul was aflame with an in- 
spiration of light and love, we are 
lifted out of our lower, selfish natures 
and seem to hold communion with 
the divine. We turn from the 
sensual and earthly and dwell amid 


tary. Forced belief is an absurdity. 
Ellzah’s zeal would have compelled 
belief. Divine wisdom foresaw the 
tendency, and provided for its cure. 
The refluence of Jezebel’s influence 
drives him Into the desert. Idolatry 
reasserts itself and revels in its 
triumph. The supreme moment 
seems to Elijah to have come. " Let 
me die." Life a failure. Surely I 
have lived holy to no purpose. 
What avail toll and self-sacrifice? 
Divine favor has been shown me. I 
have fought long, and apparently 
with success until now. But, alas! 
Diabolic resolution and resources' 
seem inexhaustible. Fire from 
heaven does not appal. The death 
of four hundred prophets does not 
dishearten Jezebel. “ The gods do so 


to me." What a fearful impreca- 
tion ! Into what a thunderbolt does 
diabolism convert Itself! Elijah is 
not prepared for it. 

"I have been jealous." How many 

Elijahs do we find to-day? I have 
done my best, but no one was on my

aguinBt the fearful odds. But I was 
alone. I could have done without 
sympathy if I had had help, or with- 
out help had I had sympathy. But 
I had neither. It was more than I 
could bear. I have retired. Here 
let me die, under this Juniper tree. 

Its own half perished branches 
standing out on the face of the desert 
like the torn and riven masts slnd 
sails of a stranded ship on a desolate 
shore. I under it. Let me die. 

Were I to die in the city only curses 
and rude gibes would be uttered over 
me. Here at least In peace. The 
winds sing a dirge through these old 
boughs. The whirlwind will pass, 
and heap earth to earth, ashea to 
ashes, dust to dust. The ravens will 
light above my head and croak out : 

“ Mah that is born of a woman hath 
but few days; aud full of trouble." 

I have been jealous, but my dead en- ^ 
ergies now pray for death of ail the 
rest. Better die than live to become 
as selfish and £8 godless as others. 
Better die than to go again upon the 
forlorn hope? No. Don’t talk about 
a revival that will shame the devil. 

I have been along there. You think 
it worth something; I know better. 

As the early dew. But there is an-

The Place of Power. 


■ It is not o(ten that we find any- 
thing bo timely, practical and sug- 
gestive as an editorial on this sub- 
ject In the New York Independent. 

It deals with the most important of 
all questions— the proper attitude of 
the bouI and church for receiving 
that divine beBtowment of power on 
which Is conditioned all spiritual 
enjoyment and achievement. We 
mustoccupy a certain place or power 
can not be Imparted. Outside the 
path of duty there can be no commu- 
nication of spiritual life. If we are 
to see Jesusand feel his healing love, 
we must meet hlm'ln the way. The 
poor blind man near Jericho knew 
the road our Lord was traveling, and 
made haste to reach it. He was 
healed, because in the way of Life, 
There are some places our God never 
frequents. If we visit there, be does 
not accompany us. We commend 
the following liberal extracts as 
worthy of careful, prayerful study : 

15y a simple induction of the facts 
in connection with our Lord’s min- 
istry and that of the apostles and 
first Christian ministers nfjthe word, 
we have seen several things to be 
true. First, thnt power helongeth to 
God, and that tije Holy Spirit is the 
great agent of It In the Godhead. 
Becond, that the gospel of God con- 
cerning his Bon. Jesus Christ, can 
only be made ellicient in the salva- 
tion of men when it is accompanied 
with the power of the Holy Bpirit. 
Third, that this power goes not so 
much with the word as with the 
minister of It. Fourth, that Jesus 
himself atl'ords us the first illustra- 
tion of the method of the operation 
of this power in that his whole min- 
istry, on earth was prosecuted by 
means of this power ’which was given 
to him as the “servant of God.” 
Furthermore, that he explicitly 
charged his disciples, who were to 
preach his gospel amoug all nations 
and peoples till the end. of the days, 
that they miist not undertake, it un- 
til they were " endued with power " 
even as he was; and, lastly, we have 
seen that, when they were so en- 
dued, they were both faithful and 
bold in their preaching, and that 
mighty results followed their words. 
We fairly conclude that the general 
absence of apostolic results in the 
present ministry of the word argues 
an absence of the power of the Holy 
Ghost with the ministers of the 
word. We assume that it is still, as 
ever, the will of God "that all men 
shall be saved;” tliut the gospel is 
still the instrument of human salva- 
tion, and that the Holy Bpjrit Is as 
ready and efficient as ever in Ins' 
mighty work. 

Our present inquiry is as to where 
tlie break is In the circuit of power. 
It is not in tlie gospel Itself, for we 
hold that it is fairly and faithfully 
preached ; it is not in the failure of 
virtue in the finished work of 
Christ; it is not in withdrawal of 
the Spirit of God from the work of 
human salvation; It must be In the 
fact that the ministers of the word 
especially, and the whole church In 
general, have lost their proper posi- 
tion before God. If we may borrow 
a word from natural law to illustrate 
a fact in spiritual life, we would say 
our Insulation is defective'; if hot 
wholly, at least in great part, For 
we hold that where there is perfect 
insulation from the world ou the 
. part of the ministry aud the church 
there will always be a mighly rush 
and flow of power wherever the word 
is preached. 


and magnify the life and work of 
Paul, and mnny of his spiritual suc- 


cessors In all ages; hut who amnn^ 


us are ready to take the place of Pau 
aud those worthies (who are the 
church’s earthly glory,) In their self- 
forgetful separation to God for the 
sfeke of Christ and his gospel?

An Affecting Scene. 


We clip the following from the 
Evangelical M^senger. What a ter- 
rible revelation of Borrow I And 
what an eloquent lesson of warning! 
No man sins unto himself alone. 
Others are affected by his offenses. 
This wife and these children are not 
only Widowed and orphaned by the 
dreadful crime .of a husband and 
father, but through life the disgrace 
of his hloedy deed and hangman’s 
death will stain their otherwise fair 


A heart-breaking scene occurred in 
a Bouthern State several weeks ago, 
showing the bitterness and cruelty 
of sin and the sufferings of helnless 
innocence with the guilty. John 
Thomas, convicted of mur.der, and 
sentenced to he banged in April 
next, was on his way to Atlanta jail, 
where he was to be confined until 
the date of thff execution. While 
waiting for the train at the railroad 
station in Palmetto his wife sat by 
him, her head upon ills breast, -sob- 
bing violently. His three little chil- 
dren were gathered at his knees, 
kissing his hands and begging him 
not to go. At length one of them no- 
ticed the steel manacles ou his wrist, 
took hold of them, and, pulling them 
vigorously, said : 

“Papa, what have you these on 
for?” 

The child kept trying to pull them 
off, ignorant of the dreadful truth of 
why they were there. Failing to 
release him, the child appealed 
piteously : 

“ Papa, do please take ofi' these 
ugly tilings ; I don’t like to see them 
on you. Take them t)ff so you can 
lift me on your lnp.” 

By this time the other children 
joined in the appeal, and the crowd 
of persons surrounding could not re- 
press their tears. At length the train 
rolled up, tlie murderer was taken 
from his weeping family, aud was 
soon on his way to await his terrible 
doom.

are specially interested In their suc : 
oess, and would modestly suggest 
that money paid a good architect is 
the cheapest investment they oau 
make. There is an old saying that 
“when n man Is his own lawyer 
he has a fool fpr a client.” Sugges- 
tive of a fact when he wants to build 
and plays architect himself. 

— O, for the rarity of a good sexton ! 
Our Richmond confrere says, “A 
worthless doorkeeper of the house of 
God is a choice tool of the^ devil." 
A late Bro. Smith, of Charlottsville, 
Va/, by bequest, endowed the sexton- 
ship of tlie Methodist Church In 
that place. A wise legacy. We 
visited a church recently that has 
a model sexton. He takes pride in 
having the house neat, comfortable 
and well filled. The hells were rung 
at the right time, and tlie doors were 
closed after each 'new comer. We 
agree with Or. LsdVrty that “ the 
average HEX ton am I the average fur- 
nace make Israel to sin.

Rev, Rober Randle, presiding 
elder of the Delhi district, Louisiana 
Conference, writes, under date of 
March , J2, as fallows “ from the 
floods 

Tilings are rather watery with us 
now, as about, three-fourths of the 
land in this district is inundated, 
with prospect of higher water. Yet 
our people are reasonably cheerful. 
Those who trust God look to him for 
deliverance, and the remainder have 
a vague hope of some success, from 
whence they know not, nor care. 
The preachers are all at work with 
some hopeful tokens. Our finances 
are, of course, quite prostrate. 


The continuation of this power 
ever since is seen only where the 
place of separation is clear and dis- 
tinct. The law of the spiritual life is 
separation. God’s people. first sepa- 
rated from the dead religious world 
at Jerusalem. The testimony of the 
early church was one of life for a 
world to come. It gathered both its 
testimonv and its life about a risen 
Christ. It did not Btudy to make 
peace with the world, or how to ad- 
just itself to its surroundings, but 
it steadily testified against it, and 
called upon the people of God to 
break with it. The doctrine of Jesus 
Christ is not the conversion of the 
world, but conversion from tlie 
world to God. The church occupied 
the same place aud took up the same 
' testimony In -the pagan world. Bhe 
first lost her power when she Bought 
to accommodate herself to the world, 
aud finally sunk into superstition 
and death when she forsook her 
heavenly bridegroom and made an 
adulterous marriage with dinar. 
Her first great awakening was Irorn 
the sleep and death of the ensuing 
Romanism, This, began in the sepa- 
ration of a few from the false and 
apostate chureh aud the world to 
God, taking up a testimony against 
both. The echoes of this great truth 
are heard in every week of prayer, 
In every assembly of God s people 
who look for revival. But no spas- 
modic and feeble measures will an- 
swer. If we are to have power again 
in the church of God there uiuBt he 
a moving iuto position. We believe 
ltmuet begin among theiuluisters of 
thechurcb. Earthly placeand power, 
earthly position aud rewards, popu- 
larity and applause from man, and 
even ecclesiastical success as motives 
or end j must be cast down as uuolean 
and carnal, and a real Inward separa- 
tion to God from the world and to 
the gospel of bis Bon Is the place into 
which we must move If we are to he 
endue! with power. , .. 

A fearlesB Btudy of the book of the 
Acts rf the Apostles, as setting forth 
the fundamental law of the life or 
the elnrch of God, the condition of 
powerand “ much fruit,"- would, we 
nellev*, lead many of us to see that 
we arenot In our true place before 
God. VVe are not In the place where 
the Hdy Ghost can use us. He will 
not, hecan not use a ministry or 
ohurchtbat Is not In a place of-sepa- 
ratlon. As well try to force the 
electrlicurrentalonga non-insulated 
wire at to expect the power of the 
Holy Spirit to flow through a world- 
ly chutoh or ministry. We study 


Our jury laws seem to have been 
framed for the protection or crim- 
inals. If a man has had intelligence 
enough to read newspapers and has 
formed; In view of the faeta ; published, 
any opinion of a given erfse he is dis- 
qualified for Jury service. The result 
is, ordinarily, our juries in criminal 
cases are composed of the most Igno- 
rant and Irresponsible classes. We 
are glad to see that Ohio has taken a 
much-needed departure in so amend- 
ing her jury laws that the court shall 
determine after examination whether 
a juror, who has knowledge of case, 
may have expressed an opinion of its 
merits, “will render an impartial 
verdict on the evidence.” Such legis- 
lation 'would subserve the ends of 
justice in every State in the Union 
Under the- existing statutes the 
theory of a trial by jury—” a council 
peers Is a nullity and an ab- 
surdity. The trial of a wealthy and 
influential murderer hy a jury of 
illiterates and nondescripts is not by 
a council of peers.” In that way 
criminals go unwhipped of justice 
ftnd the administration of law is 
brought into contempt. 


A New Congregational Creed has 
been prepared and published by a 
commission appointed for the pur- 
pose at the instance of the National 
Congregational Council, held at St. 
Louis, In 1880. The ereedrconsistlng 
of twelve articles, is a clear general 
statement of doctrine without much 
distinctiveness. We quite agree with 
the Northern Christian Advocate 
that “its distinguishing feature ft its 
non -distinguishing distinctions.” 
Except the statement on baptism, to 
which our Baptist brethren would 
object, It might he adopted by all 
evangelical churches. / One fact, 
however, is noticeable, the progress 
Congregationalism has made from 
the rigid Calvinism of other years. 
The following is the second article of 
the new creed: “We believe that 
the providence of God, by which he 
executes his eternal purposes In thq 
government of the world, Is In and 
over all events ; yet so that the free- 
dom and responsibility of man are 
not Impaired, and sin is the aot of 
the creature alone.”

—Rev. J. A. Parker, of the Louisi- 
ana Conference, will soon publish a 
volume entitled, “ Facts Concerning 
the Church, (lathered from the 
Bible.” We have seen the manu- 
script, and can commend its emi- 
nent worth. 

—Dr. Ahrens delivered a memorial 
sermon in honor of Bishop ICava- 
naugli, at Dryades Street Church, 
last Sunday morning, from the text 
the Bishop selected for his Confer- 
ence discourse at Carondelet some 
weeks ago. 

— In a note to Bro. Jamieson, dated 
March 20, Dr. Walker writes: “I 
am able to sit up. some and to walk 
about my room a little.” We hope 
the doctor will take counsel of pru- 
dence and await his full restoration 
before beginning active work. 

— Missionary Ransom reports the 
prosperous opening of the college in 
Rio de Janeito. Already one hun- 
dred and twenty-live pupils have 
been enrolled, aud, if accommoda- 
tions cOuld be furnished, the number 
would increase to three . hundred. 
From every point in our Brazil mis- 
sion there are cheerful tidings. 

Hon. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, is a 
devout Romanist, and declined to 
attend President Arthur's State din- 
ner because it occurred on a fast day. 
Without a particle of sympathy for 
his Romanism we honor ft man who 
so respects his religious conscience 
and Is not ashamed to declare it. 
Not every politician in Washington 
has such moral courage. 

— The Argosy Society, of the 
Carondelet Street Church— an or- 
ganization of active young members 
of that congregation — signalized 
their meeting on last Thursday 
night, by presenting the pastor, 
Rev. Felix It. Hill, au ornamental 
writing desk and outfit as a birthday 
souvenir. The Carondelet pastor 
wears such a youthful appearance 
that we refrain from publishing tlie 
almanac register of that day. 

—Not every politician could echo 
the death-bed words of Congressman 
Haskell, who died recently in Wash- 
ington. He said: “ Next to my God, 
my wife and niy children, I value 
my good name. My record is clean, 
aud ray children can look hack upon 
It with pride. I’d rather have a good 
name than all the world.” Aud that 
accords with the words of the wise 
man : “A good nam e is - better than 
precious ointment^ rather tiTTie 
chosen than great riches.” 

—The Presbytery of Shantung, 
China, at a recent meeting reported 
six hittidred ind seventy-two con- 
verts as having been received during 
the past year, making an aggregate 
of two thousand and seventy-two 
members within the bounds of the 
Presbytery. Such a large per cent- 
age of increase we have not known ; 
no, not In our Israel at home. The 
gates of the morning are opening on 
all heathen lands. Heaven deliver 
us front “ dawdling at daybreak:" 

The last New York Advocate 
devotes eight columns to Dr. J. P 
Newman and the Madison Avenue 
muddle. We must think that the 
distinguished New York editor Is 
making muohadoaboutasraall affair. 
Dr. Newman’s ecclesiastical tergi- 
versations and acrobatoy are too 
silly for such prominence. If a man 
gets too big for Methodism and 
wants to leave, the back door stands 
wide open for him. Nor do we be- 
lieve in dignifying his exit by exces- 
sive mention. 


Another school has been projected at 
Farmington, which promises well. 
Revivals at La Veta, Colorado 
Springs, San Luis circuit ahil Beulah 
have netted about one hundred souls, 
and in nearly every congregation 
there have been conversions and ac- 
cessions. A second church in Den- 
ver has been enterprised. These are 
good tidings, aud give tlie general 
church great joy. 

—One of the most solemn services 
we ever attended was a funeral, last 
Sunday afternoon, in tlie chapel of 
tlie Deaf and Dumb Institute at 
Jackson. One of the pupils— the 
first in tlie history of the institution 
— had died during S.lie day. In 
presence of the emire school of deaf- 
mutes aud their teachers we read the 
Scriptures, offered prayer and made 
some remarks. Prof. Dobyns stood 
hy and interpreted to the pupils in 
sign-language. No word could they 
speak or hear, but the tears in their 
eyes and the sorrow of their counte- 
nances eloquently revealed the grief 
of their hearts. Aud so without ear 
of voice God can speak to the human 
spirit. It was'-a strangely, solemn 
hour. 

—We had the pleasure, on Tuesday 
evening, of last week, to hear a lec- 
ture in Werlein Hall, from Rev. Dr. 

U. A. Holland-on “A Diy in Jeru- 
salem.” The lectu' 1 '- well known 
as an accomplished elocutionist and 
rare rhetorician, and fully sustained 
his reputation on that occasion. 
Many passages were strikingly elo- 
quent., Before entering the city and 
describing Adnutely its objects and; 
places of memorable interest he gave 
a general description of it as seen 
from Mt. Olivet. Dr. Holland’s 
manner Iqgraoeful, and his enuncia- 
tion remarkably ’clear, but rather too 
studied for pathos. He will delight 
instead of arouse— entertain rather 
than convince. Raton an occasion 
such as the above, when IiIb descrip- 
tive powers have full play, he is at 
his best. He will lecture agaiu soon 
under the same auspices ou “The 
iSfea of Galilee.” 

— The temperance agitation is hear- 
ing unexpected fruit both as to kind 
and quantity. It is not only ar.ous- 
ing the masses to their danger aud 
duty, vertebrating law olfictrs and 
frightening the politicians, hut iB 
converting the liquor dealers. A 
meeting of liquor men was held in 
New York recently, when a series of 
resolutions were passed pledging 
themselves to support existing excise 
laws, to close their houses on Sunday 
and Jo assist the police in enforcing 
the Bunday closing law. One of the 
gentlemen urged that theirs was “an 
organization that has been formed to 
observe the law and not to defy it.” 
Weft, that is encouraging. For 
saloon keepers to become observers 
aud not despisers of our Sunday laws 
was more than our faith had antici- 
pated. Let the agitation go on. It 
Is worth all this labor to compel such 
resolutions from any number . of 
liquor men, however few.

BY FATHER It VAN. 

My fret are wearied and my hand* are tired, 
i My soul oppressed. 

And with desire have I long desired 

Rest-only rest. ^ 

Tie hard to toll, when toll la almost vain, 

In barren ways; 

TIs hard to sow and never garner grain 
In harvest days. 

The.burden of my days Is hard to bear. 

Hut God knows best ; 

Xnd I have pray«d-but vain has been my prsyer 
For rest, sweet rest. 

l'ls hard to plant In spring and never reap 
The autumn yield . 

TIs hard to till the soil, and when ’tls tilled to weep 

o'er fruitless tit 14. 

And so 1 cry, a weak and human cry. 

So heart*oppressed ; 

And so I sigh, a weak and human sigh, 

For rest— for rest. 

My way lias wound across the desert years 
And cares infest 

My path, and thro’ the Mowing of hot tears 
I pine for rest. 

Xwas always so ; when still a child I laid 

On mother's breast 

My weary little head -e’en ibent pray LI, 1 

As now, for rest. 

And I am restless still ; ’twill soon be o'er. 

For down, the weal- 

Life's sun is setting, and I see the shore 
Where I shall rest. 


Musings. 

BY JOSKPII B. COTTBKLL, D. D. 

There was once before the Alabama 


with the word in Its every legitimate ness in himself, and essays something 


Variety. Sucht was the significance 
of what Christ sajd when he declared 
that “than shall not live by bread 
alone.” 

Original Wesleyan Methodism was 
as the springing forth of a new dis- 
pensation of fraternity among men, 
and, in order to conveyance of the 
enlarged thought and sentiment, a 
wider guage was in demand. Wesley 
—whom I regard as the best historic 


peculiar in the ' form of literary 
brevity, it takes more than a sprinkle 
of piety to make relishable his little 
iiirts and frips. There ought to be 
at least one plum or one apple-slice 
in each of the little dumplings. 
When all dough, with merely a 
sprinkle of sugar thereon, they make 
pensive the countenance of the guest. 
In truth, it is as we arc ourselves, 
read by that which engages us, that 


money in that field; but llisliop 
Hargrove's calm and business-like 
look at the condition of its develop- 
ment lias impressed me. When I 
say the Western work I mean Mon- 
tana, Idaho, and the ends of the earth 
that way. We have a grand future 
in all that region if* Bishop Har- 


young ecclesiastical . revolutionist 
will lie dissipated like mists. I have 
resolved to reserve my tire until a 


catch the inspiration of enlarged 
liberality, it is no less important that 
our ministry become re-consecrated 


week later, and if anything is left of and re-anointed with power from 
him, I will try to dispose of the high. 1 i. w. m 

remnant. The result will he good “ — ♦- 

in the end. It will provoke a general Central Centenary Committee, 
discussion of the Sunday question 


grove’s recognizance has not been a and arouse the conscience of the city. 


personal representative since Christ literature gives us pleasureand profit, 
of that religion which is oue in the ant j no t that which we have the task 
life itself, and whose genius is to dis- 0 f reading. ' No little of inanity and 


cover the sacreduess of all that is not 
sinful— availed himself of what he 


insipidity of writing arises out of 
thumbing on a few strings— treat- 


mistake. 

The new Hernundo Street Meth- 
odist Church ,was opened for worship 
last Sunday. Rev. David Reith is 
pastor. , Deith is a Scotchman, a 
broad and brawny Caledonian, with 
the dash of a Highland chief and t lie 


Resides, Mr. Dong's position lias 
been very equivocal, arid this attack 
uncovers him and will drive oil' from 
his support all the moral,. sentiment 
of Memphis. He will become tire

PAUL'S THinn MISSIONARY JOURNEY. 

We return to the history where we 
left Paul st Corinth just after his nd- 
veuturo with the contemptuous Gallio. 
After a stay there of a few days he 
started, in company with Aquilla and 
Priscilla, for Jerusalem, to attend one 
of the annual feasts of t ,e temple. Ou 
his way he mado a halt at Ephesus, 
where, for some reason, his com- 
panions remained, while Paul went on 
to the holy city. After attending the 
feast he returned to Antioch, and from 
this center starts out upon his third 
round of missionary labors. At this 
point the history leaves Paul to pursue 
his way alone, and turns' back to give 
ns an incident occurring at Ephesus, 
We can tind no more instructive tar 
ratlve in the whole precious history of 
the acts of the Holy Ghost than this of 
Appolos. He was a Jew, born at Alex- 
andria, that city famed for Its learning 
and great Christian writers. Nowhere 
was there such a fusion of Greek, Jew- 
ish and Oriental peculiarities, and an 
Intelligent Jew educated in that city 
eould hardly fall to manifest all til oho 
elements in his mental character. He 
turned his Alexandrian culture to high 
aaoouut— "an eloquent man and mighty 
In the Scriptures.” His Greek culture. 


preacher. The sormon ended, they 
took the proacher home with them, 
and behold the scene I This gifted 
teacher sitting at the feet of this Chris- 
tian woman and her husband, with all 
the humility and teachableness of a 
child. We hardly know which most to 
admire, whether tho delicate tact of tho 
Christian hoarors In their criticism of 
the great preacher or tho reverent and 
attentive hearing of Appolos as ho 
learned from them the way of the Lord 
more perfectly. 

This lesson had a wonderful effect 
upon this ready scholar. He arose with 
a new disposition ; he has new pur- 
poses to push on to new fields of labor 
and to preach a fuller gospel. He goes 
to Achaia, and there his ministry was 
so powerful that he drew a following 
who glorified his preaching as better 
than Paul's. 

While the Holy Ghost was bringing 
Appolos' and Paul's converts together, 
he was arranging another meeting as 
wonderful In its results, but really 
converging to one and the samo end — 
the furtherance of the gospel. Appolos 
was In Corinth, preaching with singu- 
lar power, and Paul appears at Ephe- 
sus; here he meets certain disciples, of 
whom he askB the question: Did ye 
receive tho Holy Ghost when ye be- 
came believers ? They ans wered^jJpJo ; 
Indeed we never even heard a Holy 
Ghost mentioned. What led to this 
question of the apostle we are not told. 
Evidently he was Surprised to see 
something in the language or conduct 
of these disciples denoting very imper- 
fect knowledge. He soon found out 
their position. They had confessed 
their BinfulnosB, but had not acknowl- 
edged Christ, in his divinity, by being 
baptized into his name. Paul con 
vinced them that thlB was only a pre- 
liminary step toward the truth. These 
were in the same category with Appo- 
los. Paul's question implies that at the 
moment of belief or baptism the seal 
of the spirit doos not always febme, so 
that baptismal regeneration finds, no 
ground here to rest upon. The point 
of contrast is not between John and 
Christ, but between the baptism of the 
one and the baptism of the other. John 
baptized with the baptism of water 
unto repentance, saying unto the peo- 
ple that they should believe on him 
which Bhould come after him, and shall 
baptize with the Holy Ghost. When 
they heard thoBe words and exolana- 
tlon of them they were baptized into 
the whole fullness Of the new economy 
as opened up to their believing minds. 
And when Paul laid his hands upon 
them the Holy Ghost came on them. 
The impartation of the Holy Ghost 
may have been coincident with the 
touch of Paul’s hands, but this is no 
sign nor proof of apostollo order, for 
the same Holy Ghost came upon Appo* 
los through the agency of a woman

a part of the Wilkinson cirouit was 
situated among a highly Intelligent 
and thriving people. There were 
fifteeii or more regular appointments 
besides occasional services held at 


made mo a present of a horse and con- 
veyed-tuy family two hundred mllea in 
Ills carriage to visit parents and rela- 
tives to Bpend the Interim between the 
close of circuit work and the approach- 
ing Annual Conference. The church 
at Midway was built for the accommo- 
dation of both the white and colored 
people; a liberal Bpaco was provided 
for the latter; they availed themselves 
of their privilege, and added volume 
and Interest to Bacred song. 

Bethel was the most noted appoint- 
ment on the circuit. Here we had our 
stated camp meetings and largest con- 
gregations; near bjt their preacher's 
family was pleasantly domiciled In 
1848. I would not make Invidious dis- 
tinctions; all tho neighbors were kind 
and considerate, so that we wanted for 
"no good thing.” Dr. Wlnsns married 
nearly all the young couples and bap- 
tized their children. At one of our 
camp meetings, after he had baptized a 
large number of children, he called 
upon me to administer the ordinance 
to a sprightly ohild. At flrBt I did not 
understand why he declined, until I 
asked, "name this child.” William 
Wlnans Wall was his little grandson. 
Query : Did the bright little boy live 
and become a preacher ? At one of our 
class meetings Drs. Burriss, Drake and 
Watkins (a strong trio) preached ser 
mons which told favorably upon the 
large audience. The meeting closed 
with good results. Bro. William 
JarneB, a local preacher, and a most 
excellent man (in whom all who knew 
him had the utmost confidence in. his. 
piety,) greatly assisted me at protract- 
ed meetings. He was . plain, pleasant 
and unassuming. I remember while 
we were on our way to an appointment 
we passed an old place, long deserted, 
and nothing left but the debris of a 
chimney. Said be, “Do you see that 
old place?” pointing to the right; 
“there one night I heard Lorenzo Dow 
preach in a double log cabin; both 
rooms were filled with people, besides 
large congregation outside in the 
yard. During the discourse there were 
some rude persons In the room, not 
seen by the preacher, who engaged in 
conversation. The preacher, hearing 
them, Btopped long enough to admin- 
ister this rebuke. Said he : 1 If you are 
white folks talking in there, hush ; if 
you are nlggars, you ought to have 
better sense.’ ” 

In those days came Lorenzo Dow 
preaching In the wilderness of Missis- 
sippi, and many of his quaint sayings 
are still remembered. I frequently en- 
joyed pleasant association with Bros, 
Thorn and Samuel Dawson, both 
preachers. Among the stewards living 
on this part of the cirouit weip Bros 
John Whitaker and Henry Stockett, 
who never failed to have a good report 
at their Quarterly Conferences, being 
liberal themselves in supporting the 
institutions of the church. They could 
with good grace aud without einbar 
rassment, urge others to contribute, 
Such stewards are always in demand 
aud are important faotors in running 
church machinery. Before taking 
leave of Wilkinson circuit I have other 
retrospective items to note.

From the Work. 


AnilEVILLK,' LA. 

Mr, Editor: If you want eggs 
chickens, sea breeze and delightful 
society, and to know the best workers 
Itt any church, you must come to 
Abbeville and get acquainted with our 
Ladies’ Aid Society. I camo to this 
work from Conference with the deter- 
mination to put in the best year’s work 
of my life. My mojtto: "God my 
suflloienoy.” I had been crying to God 
for months to give me a work that 
would draw on my whole being. Abbo- 
ville was the answer to that prayer. It 
exactly fills the specifications of It, and 


in 


am happy ; never so busy and happy 
all my ministerial llfo. I want 
otherB to be partakers of this, my joy, 
This is why I write. I hate selfishness 
and I now call for participators of my 
gladness. Before I explain how your 
readers may share this blessing let me 
give a little history. Arriving here I 
found no church or parsonage; no 
preparation for parsonage. I at once 
called the ladies together, and organ- 
ized an aid society. Ten members. In 
a little over a week they collected 
enough money to furnish a parsonage. 
A goo I brother mado us a Oontonary 
gift of a lot, and another brother is 
building us a very neat house, and the 
ladies pledge themselves to pay for it. 
God’s rich blessings on the ladies ! 
From Morgan City, Pattersonville and 
New Iberia the parsonage has rocoived 
help. So you see that blessing has been 
taken up, you can not share it. But we 
must have a church. Well, we have 
the lot and money in hand to pay for 
the lumber, and we expect to build It 
by subscription labor. We expect to 
have the lumber on hand in, the next 
five weeks. We want a church 30x50 
feet-. NowTeome to the part I want 
the readers to share with us. 

The windows! We want eight win- 
dows, memorial windows, Centenary 
windows, or whatever you may call 
them, so that they are ten feet by three 
feet, six inches. We can get them in 
New Orleans— gothic window frames, 
glazed, sash and blinds— at |25 apiece. 
Who will share the rich blessing of 
giving us these windows? What you 
do do quickly. We only want eight, 
and they will soon be taken up. The 
Methodists of Louisiana are going to 
do great things this year. Father. 


B.UCK— Maud has cone! How 
much this expresses to all who knew 
her ! Wlion the brightness of a cloud- 
less sky has become darkened by ap- 
proaoblng nlgbt, and we stand dispirit- 
ed for a time gazing Into bpbco, a gloom 
comes over us, ana we feel an eager 
longing to recall the rosy twilight; 
but while we linger the east grows 
bright, and another light appears, mel- 
low, tnature, and far more beautiful 
than the one we have lost. So it Is with 
the bright life that has so soon been 
brought to a close. She lingered here 
a brief space, by a sweet Inlluonce at- 
tracting nil who chanced to be with 
her, and gaining the love of those who 
knew her best. Just when she seemed 
securest, sheltered by the hands of lovet 
and affection, the angel of death bore 
her swiftly away. Would wo recall 
her? No. See, Bhe stands on the shore 
and waits for thoBe she has left behind, 
and, like a guiding star the beacon on 
before, arouse us to renewed efforts to 
join her. 

Maud was the second daughter of L, 
H. and B. A. Buck, and to say that 
they mourn her loss with deepest feel- 
ing Is but a mild expression, for In her 
they lose a gentle, modest, patient and 
dutiful child, and one whoso filial love 
characterized her young life. Sisters 
and brothers feel keenly tho vaoancy 
caused by her absence from the fire- 
side, and when friends gather with 
them they miss the cheerful welcome 
and smiling face of Maud. Of her It 
was said : “ I know not a more porfect 
character.” Sweet simplicity graced 
her actions, to give pleasure to those 
around her was a chief desire, and she 
naked no higher reward than an ap- 
proving smile. We are taught “of 
such is the kingdom of heaven;” and 
when the body of the dear one was 
borne to the gravp We felt assured she 
had joined the heavenly boat. 'A num- 
ber of. friends followed the remains to 
th&last resting-place, while beautiful 
floral tributes spoke of love and sym- 
pathy to her bereaved loved ones.

force the truths which he, as a Jew/ 1 ) 
had gathered from the Old Testament 
Scriptures. Wlist brought him to 
Bphesus Is not stated In the history in 
so many words, but is plainly suggest- 
ed. The Holy Ghost was leading Ap- 
polos as he had led Paul. Aquilla aud 
Priscilla had baen halted at this very 
place. The same Spirit who had ar- 
rested these two, and caused them to 
give over their contemplated trip to the 
holy city was leading Appolos^to 
those who could declare to his fervent 
soul the way ol the Lord more perfect- 
ly. Luke gives his history In one or 
two graphic touches. His birth place, 
his religious state, a Jew, accurately 
posted on the Scriptures, appreciating 
the full Significance of.every Messianic 
prophecy, instructed iu the way of the 
Lord, not only by what was written, 
but also by what had been preached by 
the great Baptist. He bad learned of 
the careqr of Jesus, bis miracles and 
hit doctrine, ail of which fitted the 
Scriptures, and his fervent spirit en- 
dorsed the claims of this Messiah ; but 
here his knowledge ended, “knowing 
only the baptism of John ;” but of the 
resurrection and ascension, and the 
outpouring of the Holy GboBt, which 
Hhed Huch floods of light npon the Re- 
deemer's mission, he knew nothing. 
How eloquent his slate. He knew cer- 
tainly, as far as he had come, the way 
of the Ix>rd ; only to the baptism of 
John; and at that at its beat was but pre- 
paratory aud incomplete, but of great 
promise, lie knew enough to fire his 
sohl to boldly affirm the Messiah come, 
but of the nature of that kingdom atid 
of that baptism which He commanded 
in the name of the Father and of the 
1/jpn aud of the Holy Ghost he was yet 
ignorant. Hut he waa searching the 
Scriptures aud nearing the life they de- 
glare. He bad Moaea and the prophets, 
and was persuaded, though he bad not 
seen one raised from the dead. The re- 
ward which the Lord will give to those 
who diligently seek him was all but in 
bla grasp. To bis fervent soul there 
waa capital enough ih tho old covenant

him preach better than he knew.

It was no aflllotion to a preacher (if 
not wanting in physical ability) to be 
assigned to this circuit; indeed, after 
many years’ experience and observa- 
tion in the itinerant work, I have long 
since concluded that our people have 
had as much reason to feel afflicted at 
some of the appointments made as 
those who have served them. The 
polity of our church being understood 
and mutually agreed upon by the par- 
ties interested, it has afforded an op- 
portunity for the exercUe of the grace 
of patience and forbearance on the part 
of both preachers and members. Not- 
withstanding there alwayB have been 
some men to enter the itinerant ranks 
with neither fondness for nor adapt- 
ability to the work. Under the third 
question at our Annual Conferences 
they could, without Injury to them, be 
discontinued. I remember to have 
heard an experienced presiding elder 
say In response to the question, “What 
is the trouble with that brother?’ 
“Well, sir, the trouble ♦with that 
brother is he has got no get-a-long- 
ablenoss about him.” With a traveling 
preacher common sense, prudence, In- 
dustry, social qualities, deep piety and 
thorough consecration are in demand 
Where these characteristics . prevail 
success will crown ministerial labor, 
Never fail. 

To return from this digression, allow 
me to say that MldWSy Churoh was 
good appointment, noar the residence 
of our much beloved Dr. William 
Winans. Anything I could say would 
not add to bis well merited reputation 
as an eminent divine and correct ad 
mlnistrator of Discipline. I will only 
say that I have never had a presiding 
elder I so much admired. I have 
dreamed abont him frequently since 
his demise, and on one occasion 
meeting with him in heaven, and con 
verBld'jl; with him. May I not hope the 
time will come when It will not be all 
dream? I still have a pleasant recol

Look Out, Brethren. 


Mr. Editor: I have just read In 
your issue of March 20 “A, Remarkable 
Robbery,” written by Bro. A. M. 
JoneB, in which he tries to put the 
public on their guard against a certain 
bogus dealer in non-explosives, who 
was suspected of exploding and rob- 
bing a safe at Havana, Ala. But, un- 
fortunately, Bro. A. M. Jones gives no 
description whatever of the man. His 
fictitious name and business can be 
changed at will, and used indefinitely 
as a cover for deep ylllalny. 

Now, it just so happens that our lit- 
tle town and community have had a 
somewhat similar sensation, and pos- 
sibly from the same source. Last 
Saturday night, while our Bro. L B. 
Johnson was still lingering In his 
store, about four miles from town, 
winding up business for the night, two 
maske d and heavily armed men en ter- 
ed, overpowered Mr. Johnson, and 
robbed the store of all the money it 
contained. At first no clue was found 
to the perpetrators of this daring rob- 
bery. But on the following Sunday 
morning a finely-dressed and extra- 
urbane young gentleman (?) appeared 
in our church here, joined himself to 
our Bible class, was very much" “at 
home,” putting on the religious 
"dodge” successfully. He had evi- 
dently traveled much. Seeking further 
acquaintance, he represented himself a 
natlveof England— to which his speech 
slightly agrees— that he was traveling 
as “designing artist,” and making his 
way to Panama. To be brief, after 
loitering about, and especially In com- 
pany with a suspicious copper-colored 
man, he mysteriously disappeared, 
leaving his board bill unpaid. No one 
saw any baggage ; be carried save an 
umbrella aud small Batcbel. His many 
apparently careless Inquiries about the 
financial condition of our citizens, with 
other things^ revealing his great 
hypocrisy, lead us strongly to suspect 
bla being one of the robber classes. 
Since his departuie— March 19-we 
learn that he answers the description 
of a notable train robber for whom a 
reward of *12,000 Is being offered. He 
left hereon foot, going toward Natohez.

mother, have you not a dear babe in 
glory? Would you not like this year 
to raise a memorial to it? What more 
fitting memorial than a window In this 
church of God. As God’s light has 
shined Into your hearts I beseech you 
think and art on this at once. Are 
there not ten or twenty Sunday-school 
children in some of our schools who 
will, under the guidance of their 
teacher, band together and raise us a 
Window? Will not one of the oldest 
Methodists in our church, one whose 
sun is fast setting, who may soon be in 
that temple where they have need of 
no windows for money, and where God 
is the Sun, give us a window, through 
which God’s light may Bhine upon us 
when they are gone? But I must stop, 
or I shall have to send somebody’s 
twenty-five dollars back again, say- 
ing: "Too late, my <Je»r, t be blessing 
is all gone.” Tbat would be sad. If 
anybody thinks we are not doing all 
we can here, aud coming up to the full 
measure Of our ability, let' them sus- 
pend judgment 1 mg enough to cross 
the prairie aud come and help us. Ad- 
dress all letters to me at Abbeville.

SPILLEIl— On March 7. 1884, sorrow 
came to the home of Mr. P. S. and Mrs. 
Josephine Spiller, of Tangipahoa, La. 
Their eldest child, Misb Lou Lee, died 
of congestion of the lungs, the conse- 
quence of an attack of measles. 

Tho writer, with a large number of 
friends, buried her on Sunday, March 
9, 1884. She was in her thirteenth > ear, 
aud possessed those qualities of mind 
and heart which naturally made her 
many frlendB. Patience, with loving 
obedience, and a fondness for reading 
were marked traits In tier character. 
She wbb greatly beloved by her associ- 
ates, and her parents and grandmother 
lavished upon her their fondest af- 
fection. But thd devotion of friends 
could not stay the hand of death or 
keep the loveu one here. She has gone 
to the home ol the good, into which 
disease and death can never enter. 
May this event under God’s providence 
be sanctified to the spiritual benefit of 
the bereaved, and may their hearts be 
oomforted by the consolations of the 
gospel and the sweet words of the Son 
of Mary. J. *. ruuu.

went very unwillingly to n society^ in i 
Aldergato Street, where one was read- 
ing T /Other’s Preface to tbe^Kplstle to i 
the Romans. About a quarter before j 
nine, while he was describing the ; 
change which God works in the heart ; 
througli faith in Christ, I felt my heart I 
ptrangelv warmed. I felt I did irustin ! 
Christ., 1 Christ alone, for salvation : and j 
an assurance was given mo that he had 
taken away my sins, even mine, and | 
saved me from the law of sin and death." 

That was the turning-point in his ! 
career, from which he started in a new ! 
direction of Christian life and activity. 
No longer was his service as a profes- j 
sedly Christian minister rendered inef- 
fective by dead formality, but, it was 
vitalized with tho power’ of godliness. 
His heart waa "strangely warmed,” 
and thenceforth his wliole’soul was on 
fire in his arduous work, which was 


wnstlic first preparation perfectly niliipt- 
cd to cure diseases of the scalp, ami t In: ' 
first successful restorer of faded or gray 
hair to its natural color, growth, aud

requirements needful for the proper treat- 
ment of tiic hair and scalp.

which preaching was truly the power 
of God unto salvation. 

The outcome of this 24th of May .con- 
version in the year 1738 was cue of the 
great roligioua movements of the cen- 
turies since the beginning of the Chris- 
tian era. But for that oveiit there 
would have been a far different history 
of Christianity from that period onward 
till earth’s last day. Protestant Chris- 
tendom has been marvellously affected 
thereby, and when tho work of re- 
demption on earth shall he finished, it 
will doubtless appear that Wesley’s 
conversion was one of the prime factors 
in tlie triumphs of the gospel in all 
lands.

The aervieea were opened by Hinging 
the hymn commencing, "All hail the I 
power of Jeatm’ name,” in which the 
whole congregation joined, singing 
moat heartily aa unto the Lord. Seven 
brief addreasea were made by persons 
connected with the several missions. 

Those addresses were interspersed 
with appropriate pieces sung by tlie 
audience. A statement of the work 
being done by tlie American Bible So- 
ciety in China and elsewhere (or the 
.C’hineno was made by the District Su- 
perintendent for Oregon anil Washing- 
ton Territory. A brief statement of tlie 
Society’s work was iriHde in the Chinese 
language by Rev. A. J. Hausen, Super- 
intendent of the Methodist Fpiscopal 
Cbineae Mission School. A collection 
was then taken up for the Bible caiiRe, 
amounting to *03 -40. One Christian 
Chinese merchant gave $20 In gold coin. 
All appeared lo give in llie spirit of iho 
gospel, ‘t liberally and cheerfully.” 

May not other societies ami congre- 
gations, more highly favoured, learn 
an Important lesson from this noble 
example of benevolence, from those 
wlio have so recently been converted 
from the darkness of heathenism 7 
Doubtless the influences of this 
Chinese Bible meeting will reach 
homes and hearts In the far-away land 
from which these Chinese have courte.

by water. The deluge ip dead with 
no t promise of a resurrection. We 
love to think that unlidrt above the 
wrecks, ns if responsive to the bow 
God itsel f, the deluge has left us the 
holy Hahbath, the original glorious 
rest of Almighty creative energy , and 
holy matrimony horn in Eden's 
purity and uniting a sinless pair, the 
p&rents of our race. Let the cloud 
put oil its blackest habiliments and 
roll fearfully cm In Its, chariot of 
ihtirider. WheuTTie eye greets" GoiFs 
symbol In the sky the lieaFt is reas- 
sured, for there is God himself witli 
liis Divine promise following the 
track of the retreating clouds. 

This lovely arch iu the heavens is 
is a most precious pledge that seed 
time and harvest shall never fail. 
The deluge obliterated landmarks of 
empires as well as of farms', and 
buried farmers witli their imple- 
ments aud granaries aud harvest 
wealth in one fearful watery ruin. 
History began anew to write its in- 
troduction ; the race began a new 
life. When the hot sun parches, the 
grasshopper and locust destroy, the 
lieaveus are brass and human hope 
at last begins to dig its owu grave, as 
in the near approach gaunt skeleton 
famine seems to tell of lingering 
agony of the most fearful sort, then, 
when the shower falls to refresh the 
parched grass and the thirst of men 
and beasts anil birds, amid these fall- 
ing drops the glad sunshine brings 
out new aud beautiful, as when it 
first' met Noah's eye at his new fam- 
ily altar, the rainbow in Us celestial 
attire, meet messenger of precious 
promise. 

A magnificent lesson is taught us 
of God’s care for the righteous, his 
special gracious providence. The 
ark was God's insurance society for 
Noah’s family and other tenants of 
that wonder of naval architecture. 
No lightning could shatter that ves- 
sel ; no wave, even rolled in mount- 
ain height by “ the prince of the 
power of the air,” could affect a 
shipwreck. That vessel not only 
carried evidence of love to Noah, but 
the promise and certainty of a world's 
Christ, a world’s salvation. The 
colonizatfotr ofTreaven depended oir 
that safe repose of the ark on Ararat. 
Shut up iu the ark its freight was a 
most precious association of prophecy 
and promise, the joy of earth, the 
sublime scenes of eternity. The 
church of God was there, and God 
himself was the safe pilot. 

Thus the rainbow was at once not 
only a beautiful and intense re- 
minder of the past to warn us of sin 
and its results, but it taught us God’s 
love to his chosen people as objects of 
his tenderest, most unremitting care. 
Thus to us the rainbow is a grand 
memorial of the past, interweaving 
in its lovely hues most glad pledges 
along the pathway of the future. It 
is a simple, sublime sermon of bur 
Father iu. heaven— fearful when, his 
long withheld wrath against us Is let 
loose; yet full of teudernesa aud love 
to those who trust aud obey him. 

What a suggestive heavenly sym- 
bol— “a rainbow round the throne!” 
What a glorious volume unwritten 
aud full of Dlviue record! There- 
deemed remember from what doom of 
slu and sinners they are saved. 
Eternal protection and safety flash 
from that rainbow loveliness. 
Becurity adds to the joys of the saved. 
They have left sin and temptation 
and the carnal mind amid the charred 
remains of a fire-scarred world. Death 

' is remembered as one of the obsolete 
words of sinful coliiage; it has no 
place ill the vocabulary or experience 
of heaven, whose vital air is eternal 
life. 

Let the rainbow, as it Hashes in 
mellow loveliness on the heavens, 

1 call out from ot)r graleful, loving, 
trusting souls offerings that shall he 
as dear to our Father'^ eye as the 
colors of the luinbow are beautiful to 
mortal vision. May our intense trust 
in Gotl make lovely rainbows amid 
our falling tears to cheer the heart 
with memory aud light it up with 
hope!

Letter from Kansas City. 

BY REV. J.. W. LOWIIANOU. 

1 

We have just passed through wliat 
is said by the oldest citizens to have 
been tiie severest winter experienced 
since before the “late unpleasant- 
nesH.” Mercury at aero has not been 
the Exception ; many times below, 
and once as much a*i thirty degrees. 

I used to Bay I liked cold weather ; 
but I am now "in a strait betwixt 
two:" The spring- is opening -upon 
us, and,' after enduring six or eight 
weeks of strong winds, we will enjoy 
a delightful summer. Our falls are 
the nearest ideal in pleasantness and 
serene beauty I ever saw; so, after 
all, we can afford to endure the cold 
winters and windy springs for tiie 
sake of the short cool summers and 
delightful, falls. .Real tornadoes are 
no more .frequent here in the North- 
west than iu the South or East. We 
also have comparatively little rain. 
Wheu Mississippi and Louisiana are 
suffering heavy rainfalls in the 
winter season we nre having large 
supplies of .the beautiful snow. Our 
neighbor just over the river— Kangas 
— is- suffering some sort of blight 
among lier cattle just now. Cattle 
growing is an important factor in 
Kansas industry; much moresothan 
iu Missouri, though it is a great 
source of revenue here. The gov- 
ernor of the Btaie lias called a special 
session of the Legislature to see if 
any method can he devised by which 
the ravages of the plague may he 
staid. Our farmers are hopeful of a 
good crop this year. The Missouri 
river at this point is low ; our rise 
comes after the snow thaw on the 
mountains of the Northwest. The 
tide of emigration westward is as- 
tonishing. A great many people are 
stopping to make their fortunes in 
Kansas City. Real estate .is still 
rising here, aud is destined to do so 
for years to come. In eighteen 
months the value of uuimproved 
property in the eastern part of the 
city has Increased about twenty-five 
per cent. Ten years from to-day 
Kansas City will number 300,000 
people. A recent decision of the 
.court,, making . foreign.. .loana.-illegal 
iu the State, has depressed business 
in reality a little. It can not he per- 
manent. With all our getting wo 
are trying to “get understanding.” 

I have never seen the cause or 
Christ had more at heart, and tiie 
work pressed more vigorously both 
by preachers aud laymen, than in 
this city. This is so of all Protestant 
denominations. Episcopal Method- 
ism isstrouger than any other branch 
of Protestantism; Presbyterians next. 
We are laying broad and dee)) the 
foundations of our branch of Method- 
ism, aud hope to rpake a long stride 
in the line of success this centennial 
year. By the close of this year we 
will (D. V.) have three more church 
buildings. For the present they will 
be missions ; but it is only a question 
of a little time when they will he 
self-supporting. I venture the as- 
sertion that the members of our 
church in-Kansas City have given 
more money to the cause of church 
building and to Christ within the 
last three years than tbesame number 
anywhere In the connection. We do 
not boast, hut thank God that we 
have been able to do it. 

The Annual Conference, of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church (North,) 
which includes all that part of the 
State of Missouri south of the river, 
has just adjourned its session at this 
place. We have two Annual Confer- 
ences on the same ground— the St. 
Louis aud Southwest Missouri. They 
are just about equal in number to 
the Southweet^Iissouri ; so you see 
we are almcJstly half strouger iu tiie 
same territory. The personnel was 
about that of an ordinary Anuual 
Conference, except it had a very 
sable background. Probably thirty 
out of the one hundred and twenty, 
or twenty-five, were descendants of 
Ham. There is one presiding eider 
of that color, and his district is as 
lurge as Hie entire Conference ; so 
you see we do not mix the colors 
much except at the annual gather* 
lugs, aud really we would prefer not 
to do that. Let us see if our General 
Conferenoe does not make u change 
by-and-by. Bishop Fohs presided, 
and Bishops Bowman and Hurst 
were present part of the time. Dr. 
Mathews came to them from us as 
’fraternal delegate. His speech was 
characteristically unique. They 


laughed uproariously. The doctor 
assured them of warmest fraternal 
feeling; hut that there was room 
enough for both churches in tills 
broad land of ours, lie also assured 
them that the Southern Methodist 
Church was loyal to both tiie polity 
and doctrine of Wesleyan ism ; w.o . 
still preached with emphasis de- 
pravity, conversion, hell and heaven. 
Dr. Talniage, from Brooklyn, was in 
the city, laBt week, and addressed 
one of their Conference meetings. 
He said he had stolen tiie Methodist 
class meetings ; that his church was 
divided- into five. He did not call" 
them class meetings, hut “parrishes.” 
He ulso lectured in the Board of 
Trade Hall to about 1,000 people— 
subject, Inger.3oll.3tn." ‘ His voice 
anil style are peculiar; liis rhetoric 
inimitable. Inasmuch as Ingersol 
lms lectured herb twice within tiie . 
last twelve months, I think this 
lecture was timely. As a rule, our 
preachers pky no attention to Inger- 
sol because they scarcely, preach to 
men who hear film. Christ crucified’ 
is t lie best antidote for doubt. 

We expect to have line new church 
dedicated in May by Bishop' Wilson. 
Tiie frescoing in tiie auditorium is 
said by a lady, who is a judge anti 
lias seen both , to be prettier than 
that on the. tlieuter in Denver, Col., 
anil that is said to lie the prettiest 
west of the Mississippi. We also 
speak of changing the name from 
Lydia Avenue to Centenary. 

I enjoy so much tiie weekly visits 
of the Advocate. It lias the charm 
of a letter from home. 

Alabama Conference Items. 

Tiie minutes of the Alabama Con- 
ference of 18S3 show many points of 
improvement and some of lack of 
such indications of health and vigor. 
Figures, after all, are good indices of 
value and approbation when applied 
to the financial departments of the 
church, and when applied to the in- 
crease ami success of church work in 
saving souls. 

In tills light the. support of the 
ministry may and ought to he regard- 
ed. With this rule regulating our 
steps we will look into the minutes 
and see how tiie Alabama Conference 
stands by districts, as follows: Mobile 
district increased tlie.pay of the pre- 
siding elder $88 20, and that of the 
preachers in charge $343 20; Greens- 
boro increased the pay of tiie presid- 
ing elder $93 2-3, and Lite preachers in 
charge $302 70; Kelma increased tiie 
presiding elder $40 05, and the 
preachers in charge were decreased 
$S2 85; Prattville increased the [ire- 
siding elder $00 00, and tiie preachers 
iu charge $444 00; Montgomery in- 
creased the presiding elder $20 50, 
and decreased tTie preachers iu charge 
$21 75; Eufaula decreased the pre- 
siding elder $72 00, aud increased the 
.preachers iu charge $282 70; Mari- 
anna increased the presiding elder 
$53, aud decreased tiie preachers iu 
charge $185; U niou Springs increased: 
the presiding elder $90 95, and tiie 
preachers jn charge $390 20 ; Pensa- 
cola increased the presiding elder 
$38 10, and the preachers in charge 
$273 65 : total increase for presiding 
elders $415 05, and preachers In 
charge $249 45. The Conference paid , 
on Bishop’s Fund $1,280 60— Increase 
$133 20. 

In regard to Infant baptism, adult 
baptism nnd accessions to the church 
ou profession, I select from the min- 
utes the leading stations and some of 
the leading circuits— seventeen sta- 
tions and seventeen circuits— total : 
405 adults, 243 infants; 834 received. 

These figures show that stations 
baptize more infants than adults, 
and yet receive into the church more 
on profession of faith than iufanta 
baptized. These figures also show 
that circuits Impti/e nearly twice as 
many adults as infants, and yet the 
numbers received on profession 
exceed the total of adults and infants" 
baptized. The proportion of excess 
In circuits of receptions over baptisms 
is about equal to tiie excess in stations 
of udult ami infant baptisms over re- 
ceptions into the church. These fig- 
ures further show that where the 
Methodist people are best Informed 
infant baptism is more firmly be- 
lieved and consistently practised; 
also that circuits are more vigorous 
and aggressive ill soul saving. These 
figures Indicate points iu wlileh both 
Htatlonn'aiid circuits should Improve.

PAUL AT BPUEflUS. 

The events of this lesson follow Im- 
mediate! v after those of the lust. Paql 
having completed the faith of that com- 
pany of twolve disciples of John, and 
Imparted to them the gift of the Spirit 
by his timely Instruction, he at once 
entered the Bynagogue and spoke bold- 
ly for the epace of three months, dis- 
puting and persuading the things con- 
senting the kingdom of God. nis 
preaching had a wide range, after the 
style of his discourse on Mars Hill, and 
was delivered with the courage of one 
who felt himself under a moro than 
earthly sovereign's protection. It took 
this sort of courage to preach Jesus as 
the Messiah before a congregation? of 
his murderers. But when divers were 
hsrdonsd and believed not, but spoke 
evil of that way before the multitude, 
Paul treated thorn as he did the oppos- 
ing CorlnthianB— shaking his raiment, 
sonsigned the responsibility of their 
unbelief to themselves, and withdrew 
to the lecture hall of Tyrannua, taking 
with him all those who believed and 
were willing to abide in that way. We 

preaobers might take a suggestion from 

this move, and dollver many a dying I 
shnroh by hiring a hall and seceding I 
from the synagogue, where the be- 
lievers are In "the mluority and the 
gospel-hardened members hold sway. 
Paul's movo from the synagogue to the 
schoolhonse was not only a protest 
) against the bigotry of Judaism, but it 
was for the safety of those who be- 
lieved! for those opposers not only re- 
sisted the truth, but they spoke evil of 
Oal way which was any way exactly 
different and opposed to their own way. 
We have a striking illustration of this 
same movement In the , history of 
Methodism. When Mr. Wesley turned 
tdmself and followers out of the church 
of the Establishment of Great Britain, 
and held their services In meeting 
houses, so called by the s/iursA; -This 


vain attempt of wicked men to wield 
the forces of the Holy Ghost. Notice 
the sharp distinction betweon “the 
evil spirit who answered” and "the 
... —I «.,ll anUUAHAB ” Tllfl 


man In whom the evil spirR-was.” The 
devil did the answoring and the man 
the fighting. Such appalling testimony 
against these seven Sons of darkness 
and In favor of Paul and the Jesus ho 
preached was calculated to mako a 
profound impression upon the wholo 
city, and It did in a most romarkable 
way. Many were conscious Binltten at 
the thought of what fools they had 
been, and what dupea of these magi- 
cians, and openly confessed how they 
had been dfeluded and how deeply they 
had allowed themselveB to be Impli- 
cated! n such practices. They unbur- 
dened tliemselvos, telling over all their 
curious insane arts and senseless 
labors, and brought the books contain- 
ing the mystic formularies of this 
supeistitton, and made a bon-flre of 
them in presence of all the people, and 
they counted the price of them, and 
found It fifty thousand pieces of silver. 
This was a good deal of money to put 
In ashes, some eight or. nine thousand 
dollars in our money. It was the very 
best use that such value could be put 
1-tOr-To have sold the books would have 
been to have banded on the temptation 
to others and to perpetuate their sin. 
The burning of these Ephesian Scrip- 
tures, which no doulit were lpspirod of- 
the spirit from beneath, must have 
made a lasting impression upon all 
who witnessed the scene. It was a 
strong proof of the honest conviction 
of these sorcerers, as well as a public 
avowal and renunciation of tholr sin. 
Public sins demand a publio confes- 
sion ; confoss the others unto God’s ear 
only. Young man, have you burned 
your bad bookBT Have you nothing 
locked up in yonr business which is 
only ovil and tendB to produce only 
evil? Waste It, pour It out, burn it, 
count not the cost, part with It forever, 
every bad habit, all unlawful gain. To 
starve and die with a good conscience 
Is better than to feast with Dives and 
live with a guilty conscience. What 
shall It profit lr you . gain the whole' 
world and lose your own soul? What 
will you offer God instead of it when 
he asks for it and claims it as his own 
purchased possession. 


have gone to work heartily, and now I 
I ahall expect a “ revival In every con- 
gregation." God grant us the baptism

and customs of these to be too true. 
This is due to ignorance, in a great 
measure, on their part, and prejudice 
somewhat on the part of the American 
people about them, as they are termed. 
Because a person speaks English it is 
no infallible sign that he exercises 
charity. On the other hand, there has 
been a Bad lack of this heaven-born 
principle sit'd a deplorable abutfdant 
supply of censorlouBness. The grace 
of God alone can" remove tills preju- 
dice on one part, and educational ad- 
vantages, which are characteristic In 
this age of our church, the Ignorance 
on the other. Light is needed; light

our people their relation to their breth-

their benighted condition. 

At the last session of the Louisiana 
Annual Conference some of the elder 
brethren asked me if I would under-

that my knowledge of French was 
limited, and I could only 'leave the

Mb. Editor: With your permission 
I will occupy a little space in the Ad- 
vocate to correct the mistake of my 
Bro. Ramsey, made In his answer to 
my “rather salty article," calling at- 
tention to the injustice done to myself 
and former charge by the statistical 
table of the Minutes of the North Mis- 
sissippi Conference. He has things 
considerably mixed. While at Confer- 
ence I gild not expect a letter from 
Friars' Point about tho finances of the 
charge ;• did not tell any one. so. Bat 
having charge of the Conference mall, 
I know of others who did. And it la 
evident to my mind that Bro. Ramsey 
had a similar conversation with an- 
other brother to which he refers as

We are now domiciled in a nice par

the smoke-house with hams, sugar, 
coffee, molasses, rice, bacon, lard, meal

record behind him ; his praise 1 b In the 
mouth of the lovers of the Master all

I have sent twenty-eight subscribers 
to our various Advocates. The work 
has raised since Conference about Jl!00

Bo, considering the lateness of our 
start, and the inclemency of the

only the French tongue. Thii Is espe- My famlly ar0 a n g n fine health, and

with Arkansas and Arkansas Method-

church— still Louisiana's warm greet-

on r hearts too full for utterance, and 
we can but pray that the blessings of 
our God may abide upon this people,

be remembered for the outpouring of 
his Spirit, and the ingathering of many 
precious souls into hla kingdom.

at Shubuta, Miss., March 7, 1883, and 
died, of congestion, at Estlbuchta, 
Miss;, on the Northeastern railroad, 
June 11, 1883. 

Tommie was a kind, generous young 
man, who by his upright walk had 
won the respect of all who know him. 
lie was industrious and alwayB sought 
to bo profitably employed./ Ho bad 
lived a quiet, moral life from early 
childhood, but had not made an open 
prolession of religion until about 
twelve months hefore his death. Ho 
was married to Miss Florence C. Ver- 
nmtlle, Novbmher 15, 1882, and was a 
kind, loving husband who ever sought 
to make his young wife happy and to 
fulfill the sacred vows that be had made 
at the hymenial altar. He was a true 
friend, an obliging, good neighbor w ho 
seemed to seek to fill the relations of 
life that he bore to hlB fellow- cream res. 
He hail lived for some yea™ with his 
aunt, Mrs. Isaac ChampeuouH, and so 
kind, gentle and attentive was he to 
her that she esteemed him more like a 
son than nephew. Tommie was con- 
verted and joined the churoh during a 
revival service held, at Shubuta, during 
October, 188'2. From the day he Joined 
the church he Hought to live a consist-

To the memory of but few children 
could we pay greater tributes of due

How hard it is to give up our little 
children at such a time, and see all our 
flattering hopes of promising manhood 
or womanhood vanish into air! With- 
out immortality the ways of Providence

sleep and the grave a prison-house ol 
despair. Without immortality songs 
aregiven-for sighing, smiles for tears, 
hopes for disappointments and the tri- 
umph of life over the gloom and dark- 
ness of the grave. We commoBd these 
thoughts to the tiereaved family. May 
they comfort you ! For death is only a 
change of residence, and not an ever- 
lasting sleep. You have a dear little 
pledge in paradise to welcome your 
arrival there. K. J. taylok.

•hauge of base and renunciation of the 
synagogues for a worshiping place of 
their own, though much humbler In 
pretensions, was blessed of God, for 
from this center the gospel spread so 
that all AbIs heard the word of the 
Lord Jesus, both Jews and GreekB. 
There was during this remarkable 
period of successful preaching other 
remarkable and extraordinary mani- 
festation of the noly Ghost’s presence 
and attendance with Paul. 

“Sod wrought special mlraclet by 
the bauds of Paul, so that from his 
body were brought unto the sick hand- 
kerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases 
departed from them, and the evil spirits 
- went out of them." Miracles had been 
wrought In Corinth, but it is here 
plainly implied that those wrought at 
■pLesus were unusually striking. The 
reason seems to be that Ephesus was 
pre-eminently a city of magic and false 
‘miracles, and the Ifoly Ghost chose to 
show his power by working true ones. 
The methods of the Holy Ghost are 
brought iu vivid contrast to the mag- 
ioal arts of the evil one. The one heals 
with the falling of a shadow, the touch 
of a kerchief or of a hand or at a word. 
The other, with Ita laborious art s anfc 
senseless Incantation*, utterly falls. - 
Paul, among these Ephesian magicians, 
waa attended by the aame Jehovah who 
aocompanied Moses and Aaron when 
they stood before the sorcerers of 
■gypt. 

A band of seven vagabond Jews, 
whom the devil had out on the road, 
pnahlng hla Interests, thought that they 
bad discovered the secret of Paul’s suc- 
cess In healing diseases and in casting 
•nt evil spirits, to be In the use of the 
name of Jesus, and hoped that by 
aping him In this to be equally success- 
ful. Bo these conjurers adopted as 
their formula of exorcism the same 
Mm«, saying I adjure by Jesus, whom 
Paul preachetb. These seven sons of 
B**va In this experiment reached the 
very height of profanity, which gener- 
ally bring* It* own punishment. They 
were playing with an edged tool, 
•harper than a two-edged »word, to 
their own wounding. The evil spirit in 
th* man possessed answered, Jesus wo 
raoognlxe, and Paul we are well ac- 
f Delated with, but who are you? and 
ths man In whom the evil spirit was 
leaped on them and overcame them, bo 
th»t they fled out of the house, wound 
ed sud naked ; they escaped with their 
•kin. What an lnextrluable mixture 
of man and devil, and yet how illatlnot- 
||r and aoddenly were the two peraon- 
«hh— of this being broaght out In this 


pared, berore going to OXfOTd, two re- 
ports of my charge, one for the statis- 
tical secretary, which waa rendered 
the first day, the other I purposed 
reading before the Conference. This 
latter, however, was mislaid, and I was 
obliged to call on Bro. Ramsey for the 
one presented to him, at tho same time 
making a correction in the amounts 
paid for both foreign and domestic 
missions, to which he pleasantly ob- 
jected, saying he would have to scratch 
his book. I understood him not only 
to be through with my report, but also 
to make the correction deelred then 
and there. It was a mere oversight In 
not returning the report.

Mn. Editor: Last Saturday night a 
mass meeting was held In tho church 
at Atlanta. Itev. A. M. Walles was 
called to the chair, and C. D. Hunt 
elected secretary. The chairman ex 
plained the object of the meeting to be 
the organization of a Woman’s Foreign 
Missionary Society. After a few brief 
remarks' from -the- chairman in-refer- 
ence to woman’s work, and the great 
need of this organization In order to 
reach all classes, the call was made, 
add soon quite a number came forward 
and had their names enrolled, after 
which they went into the election of 
officers, with the following results 
Mre. M. C. Thsaher, president; Mrs, 
Addio Lewls.first vice president; Miss 
Mollle Barr, second vice-president 
Miss May Walles, recording secretary 
Miss Bessie Cur™, corresponding 
secretary; Mre. E. M. Bennett, treasu- 
rer; Miss Mollle .Walles, Miss C. V. 
Fergerson, Mrs. Bailie Dixon and Mrs. 
E. Turner, colleotore. Ths feeling 
manifested was Indeed encouraging. 
On Babbalh morning, lp the Sabbath- 
school— a very large one— we organized 
two societies, the boys to colleot for onr 
enterprise In Mexico, snd the girls to 
work for the girls’ school In Brsall, as 
directed by Dr. Hendrix. After a very 
practical and profitable sermon from 
Bro. Wailes we “cleared the decks”

HOWELL— Died, January 14, 1884, 
at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. 
N. G. Irby, In Jackson parish, La., 
Mrs. Mary Howell, aged sixty-nine 
vears. Hflr. maiden name was May, 
and she was born In Yazoo "ft r~l* 1 ke~ 
county, Miss., October 29. 1815. Bite 
married, at nineteen, to Mr. Howell, 
and about the same tl*ie became a 
membor of the MethodlBt Episcopal 
Church, South. For a short time after 
coming to Louisiana she was In com- 
munion with the Methodist Protestant 
Church, because it was the only one In 
reach. With this exception she wsb, 
as I am told, a zealous member of the 
church she first joined. 

She was the mother of seven chil- 
dren, whom she reared to be grown with 
one exception, and all were trained In 
the church and became religious. Her 
husband died in 1847, and she was left 
with the care of her family. For six 
years of my acquaintance with her I 
knew her as a pious mother in Israel — 
a warm lover of the church. She was 
feeble and afflicted for some time, but 
was patient and submissive. She talked 
of her death as a release, and rejoiced 
in hope of rest in the home of tho just. 
Her loved ones mourn her absence, 
but rejoice in the assurance given in 
tho gospel of the better state or such a»

shore. r. T. rawson.

Mb. Editor: The grand Centenary

form, made ltB appearance “In these 
ends of the earth.” We all seem to be 
quite satisfied (?) with our present

have to be “bothered” with attend- 
ance upton any of those old-fashioned 
class, prayer or experience meetings, 
that so fills the soul with love and 
truth, and makes the church "a dty 
set on a hill.” We don’t have to go to 
ehuroh on Saturday ; a few of us, how- 
ever, do “ turn oot” on the Sabbath for 

oustom’s sake. We are not all the time 

" pestered ” with getting the children 
off to Snnday-Bchools, for there Is but

that, the superintendent and a few 
others more Interested In our chil- 
dren’s welfare can keep It up without

cumbered with any of the mission or 
Umipuiauco lute.ekU, having no * so-

Tallahaley. At Enon we have 
church at all, except a union one, and 
that Is as good as none, so far as our 
claim Is concerned. At AuguBta we 
have one, liut It is nearly ready to fall 
down. At Vew Prospect we have one 
made of pine poles, ondTlrerpeople 
hardly have houses In which to live. 
At Gasaway we b ave an unfinished 
hull of a church, and the people ore 
very poor. At Tallahaley wo have no 
church, and the presiding elder’s and 
preaoher In charge's salary Is |10. At 
this plaoe (Hattiesburg) the people are 
so straitened with their own buildings, 
which are unfinished, and perhaps will 
remain so for some time, that they are 
not able to build a church without 
help. Some one, perhaps, who does not 
know the true state of things here 
would say, wait until the people get 
able to build ; but this would not do, 
for it Is to the Interest of Methodism 
at this place to build now. For further 
lntormatlon let me refer you to Bro, 
Moore, at Frankllugton, La., who waB 
on this work last year, and to our pre- 
siding elder, Bro. B. 8. ltayner.

Punctuality. 

RY IlKV. I>»7 DKRM8. 

Among tho minor Immornllllog o 
w«nt of punctuality i« usually ranked. 
That It Is an immorality, there can be 
no doubt. The only question la, whether. 
It ahoulil be ranked among the alna of 
the less venal kind, and whether, in 
calling It minor, wo do not mitigato a 
very grave offenie. 

Certainly, punctuality la among the 
very high vlrtuea. It bIiowh moral 
discrimination and exaetitudo. It 
Bhows that its possessor la lntont upon 
securing every punctum arising from 
a clean habit of mind, and pure Htate of 
the heart, and a healthy condition bf 
the will, which enables a man to bold 
himself rigidly to his engagements. 

Unpunctuality shows a regardless- 
noBB of other people’s property and 
other people's reelings which can not 
exist In the lreart of a man who Is high- 
minded, intelligent, aud a consecrated 
Christian. In bustueHS, no matter 
what may be a man’s other qualities, If 
he be npt punctual, all bis affairs are 
likely to go into disorder. It is so in 
every other department. There is a 
lack of moral senso at the bottom of 
this vice. Why should uot a man who 
is careless of hia engagements, also be- 
come careless of the truth? In other 
words, is not his want of punctuality a 
weakening of his veracity? What is to 
preveut a man who' ia habitually un- 
unctual from hecounug a thi ef ? H e 
) mi 


uaa no regard for the time of other 
men, why should lie have for thoir 
money? What is the difference be- 
tween taking a tnait’s hour and taking 
hfs ‘five dollars? There are very many 
men in tho community, to whoa* each 
hour of tho business day is worth more 
than live dollars. Why should six 
gentlemen he kept wailing ton min- 
utes for mo, and thus the aggregate pf 
an hour ho wanted out of business life? 
Wlfy should their business be jeopard- 
ized hy my carelessness? 

It is no apology for one to say, that 
he does not intend to do harm, that it 
is a mere carelees habit into which he 
has fallen, that other men show the 
same. It is not that ho wlshrs to give 
pain anil inconvenience to tho rightful 
owner by takiug away his property. 
Thieves are not generally malignant ; 
they are simply unpunctual; they do 
not make a point of the mew/n, or of the 
futim. They just carelessly put. prop- 
erty in tho wrong place, as an unpunct- 
ual person puts time in the wrong 
place. ' 

Should not all our moral teachers 
begin to impross this upon society ? It 
is time that unpunctual people have 
their consciences aroused, aud that 
they lie brought to feel they can not he 
considered wholly moral if they are 
careless as lo thoir engagements. Ton 
minutes’ delay of a telegram, a minute 
loo late for the mail, may cause wide- 
spread distress. It may even cause 
death. In such a case is the careless 
dealer of tho b'ow any less guiltless 
than he who, through mere careless- 
ness, wfails to poll a neighbor from a 
polnlof danger ? 

Orianarily, business merf are cotn- 
pelle<t to be punctual. The note goes 
to protest, if the ppymdrt is delayed a 
single second after the hour at which 
the hank closes; hut iu other depart- 
ments of society, men are uot so care- 
ful. Look at church committees, how 
a dozen men will wait and lose their 

f ireelous time, for one loiterer 1 l’er- 
mps it would be well to begin at tho 
bottom of our religious instruction, and 
all the way up teach punctuality, by 
precept and oxamplo. It should be a 
rule iu tho Sunday-school that when- 
ever any teacher fails, for three sue- 
coasive times, to he proseut at the 
opening of the exorcises at*the moment 
appointed, his case Hliould be consid- 
ered at a teacher’s meeting, and, unlees 
It could- ho shown that the eiroum- 
stances wore entirely beyond IiIb con- 
trol, he should be requested to resign. 
No unpunctual teacher can have moral 
power over his scholars. No scholar 
ought to respect an unpunctual teacher. 
No Christian ought to respect a teacher 
who carelessly tells a falsehood. And 
then the superintenilent ought to feel 
that under no circumstances, except 
such as ho could not control, will he be 
behiud one half second of lime in open- 
ing the school. No matter if there ie 
but one scholar present the school 
ought to open on the stroke of time. 
The superintendent who Is lit for his 
place would hire a watchman to sit up 
all Saturday night, to wake him, rather 
than that he should miss a minute in 
school. ,For what is the use of Sunday- 
school if it will not teach punctuality ? 

What is the use of religion if men are 
not moral ? And, how can an unpunc- 
tual may be a moral man, in tho high- 
est sense of the word ? Tho pastor 
must be the chief examplar to all his 
people. The thiug he most wants is a 
trustworthy chronometer. If the ser- 
vice is to begin at a lixed hour, the 
Arqt syllable bo utters in the service 
ought to follow as closely after the last 
stroke of the clock, telling the hour, as 
that last stroke followed its predecessor. 
If there he hot one person iu tho church 
he ought to go forwHrd, and throw 
upon all late coin ora the responsibility 
of disturbing the .devotions of their 
neighbors hy thoir late coming to 
church. 

Thus, and by lecturing on the sin of 
nnpnuctuality, lie may be training his 
people up lo w here every congregation 
should he, viz; The habit of hoing all 
seated just before the church service 
brgius. Tho moral effect of church 
servlco depends largely upou uot sim- 
ply the Scriptural lessons, nor tho 
prayers, nor the hymns, nor tho ser- 
mons, but upon all taken together. The 
minister Btudies the reading of the lee- 
sons as carefully as he does the prepa- 
ration of the sermons. Perhaps Lo has 
been two hours woi king over the chap- 
ter to learn how to read it, so as to con- 
vey to the hearer the meaning of the 
Holy Spirit In the Word of God. And, 
perhaps, the, effect of the sermon Is to 
depend very largely upon the prepara- 
tion in the minds of his hearers, secured 
by the (Irst lesson. If only half are 
present to hear It, and if the other half 
are breaking In upon It, what a sad 
thing it Is for tho work of God ! 

It seems unaccountable that so many 
congregations are careless In this mat- 
ter, when It is known, from year’s end 
to year's end, that the service Is to be- 
gin at a fixed hour. It ought to vary 
from that moment no more frequently 
than trains of cars on our most used 
and best-regulated railroads fall to go 
on schedule time. 

Let us begin the work of reform In 
this matter In our Sunday-schools and 
Churches; and let uh spread through 
the whole community this truth, that a 
man who 1 b not precisely and pnnotUl- 
ously careful of his engagements Is in 
great danger, to say the least, of losing' 
his IB Orai swif-cnnl r ni.

Scotland, during the past thirty-four 
years, have raised for fhiurah pur- 
poses 


Wish W o n n h._ Beware of that 
daughter of l’rlde— enthusiasm. (live 
no place to a boated imagination. Do 
not hastily asoriho things to God. Do 
not esHlIv suppose (Irentns, voices, Im- 
pressions visions, or rto ebit Inns lo im 
from God. 't'hev may lie (ruin him ; 
they may he from nature ; they may lie 
from the devil, 1 advise y on neier to 
use the word wisdom, reason or knowl- 
edge hy way of reproach. On the con- 
trary, pray that you yourself mav 
abound in them more and more. II 
you mean worldly wisdom, useless 
knowledge, false reasoning, say so, 
and throw away the chaff, hut not the 
wheat. One general inlet to onthuslaem 
Is, expecting the end without the 
means. Some have been ignorant of 
this device of Satan. They havo left 
off searching the Scriptures. Others 
thought they had not so much need of 
hearing, and so grow Black In attending 
the morning preaching. 1 Bay yet 
agalii, bewaro of enthusiasm. Such is 
tho imagining you have tfie gift of 
prophesying or of discerning of spirits, 
which I do not believe one of yon have, 
no, nor over had yet. Beware Of judg- 
ing people to be either right or wrong 
by your own feelings. This Is no 
scriptural way of judging. O, keop 
close to the “law and the testimony.” —

look at in II. v .- j 1 1 o r o of the city bui an 
old pump, AiTtl wira Rlira of simile T 
could make out of it. I could not tell. 


One of Mr. Spurgeon's latest Is the 
following: “I was in Cologne on a 
very rainy dny, and was looking out 
for similes sml metaphors, as I gener- 
ally am, bn 1 had nothing on earth to 

look *- ■ 1 - 

old 

coni 

All traffic seemed suspended, it rained 
so hard ; but I noticed a woman come 
to the pmn ' -v'liva hricket. Presently 
1 noticed c man c< mm -with, a bucket, 
nay, he came with W yoke anil two 
buckets. Ah I kept/on writing and 
looking ofn ev-iy now arid then, I saw 
the same friend vit)! the often buckets 
and the blue binnse coming to the same 
pump again, til the course of tho 
morning I think I saw him a dozen 
times. I thought to myself, ‘Ah, you 
do not fetch water for your own house, 
Earn persuaded : von are a water car- 
rier; you fetch water for lots of people, 
and that ls/why you come opener than 
anybody else.' Now. there was a 
meaning in Unit at, once to my soul, 
that inasmuch as I had not nnlv to go 
to Christ for myself, hut Irad bei'n made 
a water-cnrrler : to carry ihe water of 
everlasting life to others' I must come 
a great deal oftener than krivbiTTv else.” 


MISCELLANEOUS. 


Facts and Reasons. 

Effects Produced by AYER’S SARSAPARILLA and by 
Nothing Else so Perfectly. 


It strengthens nnd Invigorates sufferers 
from cnervntlon, languor, weakness, and 
mental depression. 

It has an almost mnglcnl effect In curing 
eruptive and cutaneous disorders'. 

!t eradicates from the blood tho taint of 
that terribly destructive dlscuse, Heredi- 
tary Scrofula. 

It expels from the system tho baneful 
poison of Mercury, which is us serious as 
that of Scrofula. 

It purities and regenerates tho llfo cur- 
rent polluted by the corruption of con- 
tagious disease. 

It stimulates the sccrctorv organs, efforts 
the removal of all Impurities from tho 
blood and makes It new, rich, and pure. 

It restores health to sufferers from thiu 
blood and lnipuiml vitality. " 


• It saves; by its thorough purlilentlon of 
the blood, from Ulieuniatlsm, Itheiimatle. 
Lout, mid Tubercular Consumption. 

It cures Scrofulous affections of tlio 
Liver and Kidneys, mid their symptom-, 
Juumhec and Dropsy. 

It cures' Scrofulous Catarrh, Itching 
Humors, and tho purulent Sores eauseu 
by Scrofulu. 

It clears and Improves the complexion. 

It neutralizes the poisons left hi the 
system hy Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever, 
and restores tho debilitated patieut to 
perfect health und vigor. 

It Is, In short, an unfailing remedy for 
!Y* disorders arising from Impurity of 
tho blood, where such disorders have not 
beepmo ro deeply Bested as to be beyond 
all human aid. 


Advantages that AYER’S SARSAPARILLA 
Possesses over all Others. 


It is composed of tho most efficacious 
alterative, diuretic, nnd tonic drugs known 
in pharmacy, among which uro the 
genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, Yellow 
Dock, Stllllngla, and the Iodides of Totas- 
alum and Iron. 

H-t»-a -highly -concentrated topdlcttlPf 

scientifically and honestly compounded so 
as to tccurc to it tho highest degree of 

apfJi’lh? ami rnirfnnt • < >-> I Sr, ! • .. ° 


activity and perfect uniformity. 

It has received the hearty iniloi 

of the leading men In tho medical profes- 


lorscmcnt 


of the leading men In the medical profes- 
sion, who recognize it as n standard Phar- 
maceutical preparation, and preseribo it 
in their practice. 

It contains no poisonous minerals or 
other dangerous drags, the use of which 
for temporary effect in the many crude 
and cheap mixtures roUI as alteratives, 
produces cfltcts on tho system often worse 
than the diseases they arc offered to cure. 

It costs no more than anv other, hut 
would still bo the cheapest blood-purify- 
ing medicine in the world, even were its 
price three times greater, since it is the 
only ono that does “real, lasting good.” 


Tt has been before the public for nearly 
forty years,, and lias constantly grown 
in popular fnvnr, both nt home and 
abroad, until there is hardly a place in the 
civilized world where it lias not a host of 
friends, made so by its marvello u s cures. 


‘ ‘ 1 1 ’ “““ ’iM'ni.i i ill cn. 

It Iras ntfufl Used in, nhd approved hr. 
at .least l.ooo.noo families In tho United 
States, and 7,000,000 throughout the world. • 
.Women havo c.-pedal reason* for com- . 
mending it. 

It has proven Us potency In curing 
obstinate, deeply-seated, ana long-stand- 
ing diseases caused hy vitiation of the 
blood. It must not. however, lie ex- 
pected nnd is not claimed that n single 
bottle will euro such cases; but patients 
should persevere in the use of this remedy 
until a radical cure is effected, ■ 

It is the (inly blood-purifier that has won 
and retained the confidence of the people 
of all tropical countries, where such medi- 
cines are much required. 

It is tho Duly medicine nf Us class that 
sailors, in n rule, have any faith iu — aud 
they uro right.

DR. B. J. Kir D all A Co., Gent*:— For the past 
three years I have used Kendall’* Hpavln Cure. In 
everr case of spavin, of which I have treated Qve, it 
has silled them all, and entirely removed three. In 
case of splint I find it has no eoual. ono case I had 
was of three veara standing nnd the Spavin Cure re- 
moved it entirely. I had a cow got spavined aud it 
entirely cured her. One year ago a two hundred 
pound block of Ice fell out of a wagon striking my 
footou instep and toes, It would Le Impossible to 
mash a foot worse without breaking any bones. I 
was taken home and carried Into the house. I do 
not think amputation of the leg would cause any 
more pain. I went fbr Kendall’s Hpavln Cure, it was 
all I used and in six days I could walk around. 
About three weeks ago my team rau away and threw 
me out of the wagon, the hind wheel struck my knee. 
After applyiug several highly recommended lini- 
ments without obtaining any relief. I went for Ken- 
dall’s Spavin Cure. My leg was drawn up and my 
knee swollen badly. In three days I was able to 
walk to the baru. I could go luto details mors fully, 
and make tills a very long letter but will not weary 
you. I am veiy respectfully yours, ,

Sketch of Bishop Kavanaugh. 


II V ItP.V. C. O. ANDREWS D. I). 


Ml 


Published by permission from “ Life and Times 
Bishop Kavanaugh,” by A. II. Bedford, D, IL) 

" Bishop Kavanaugh has presided 
over the Mississippi Conference five 
times during the last twenty-six 
years : first at Vicksburg, in 1868; 

then at Meridian, in 1871; at Brandon, 

in IS72 ; again at Meridian, in 1878, 
Rnd last at Natchez, in 1888, Just a 
few months before his death. 

“I might say that the impression 
which lie made at the first Confer- 
ence was confirmed and strength- 
ened by each succeeding one. He 
was of no transparent a character that 
*H could readily see through it. An 
utter absence of duplicity prevented 
him from concealing anything even 
if there had been anything to conceal, 
it would have had to come out no 
matter whom or what it damaged, as 
he did not know how to take counsel 
°f policy or cunning. He was so 


unambitious that I readily believe he 
wuh j list, as self-possessed on one occa- 
8 ion as unother no matter how occa- 


WO UUIHUCI UU lUUliri — 

“ions might differ in importance or I 
magnitude. If there was any dlffer- 
uuce, he seemed to be more uncon- 
cerned upon occasions where he had 
feason to believe that great things 
were expected of liiiu than, ordinari- 
ly, when the salvation of souls was 
m °re directly dependent upon the 
proper presentation of the truth. 

“ Bishop Kavanaugh was aB gulle- 
* es8 and as simple as a little child. I 


— seen him in the social circle, 
when he would bring himself down 


to the level of little children, entering had t 
Into their enjoyments with a fresh- truth 
ness and forgetfulness o^ self that thou| 
could not be afi'ected, but could come sphei 
from nature only. There was no a dot 
still ness or formality about him. The who 
very same freedom of manner that ing i 
characterised him in the company of whei 
little children seemed to belong to nishi 
him when associated with thelearned ness 
and the eiders. at w 

“ He hud an inexhaustible fund of the 
anecdote. There was an appropri- with 
ateiresB and a pert hi ency i n his nnec- poet 
dotes that made you think he origin- i ma j 
ated some of them for the occasion. t, Pal 
He had-tbat rirreirfuaitty of-enjoyinR - f ,f p 
a joke at his own expense. Tliis kind the 
he seemed to narrate witli peculiar PV ot 
relish. He did not consider his feat- pict- 
ures very handsome nor liis person an d 
very graceful, and any humorous au ti 
reflection he happeued-to hear made ij aa 
upon either he treasured up and Her 
would often relate to friends with ( r!tI 
irresistible humor. An illustration gosq 
of this occurred at the late session of j U p 
the Mississippi Conference during I pnr 
one of tlie'sessions of liis cabinet, j » i 
Nome reference had been made to liis p n n 
figure. ‘ That reminds me,’ said he,' ora 
‘of a remark the gifted and erratic I10 
Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, made p re 
about me. Tom and 1 grew up t6- p ro 
gether and were quite intimate. I ar t 
used to admire his genius and lament Tb 
liis wanderings. He got down so cal 
low at one time that he had no home, j a 
got his meals just where he could ing 
and would full down aud sleep tes 
wherever sleep overtook him, even 0 f 
though it was in actable, or a hay th< 
loft. I was .walking down street Ke 
early one rubriiing, aud felt my sor- i n( 
sow stirred at seeing Tom coming yp 
out one of one of his sleeping-places tin 
witli the hay still sticking in liis hair 8 ts 
and to liia clothes. He called out to wt 
me while I was yet at some distance tri 
from him : “ Kavanaugh, you and I pQ 
resemble our blessed Kavioilr; but iu 
different particulars: I in that I have k 
not- where to lay my head, aud you is 
in that you have uo form or eomeli- ge 
ness.”’ It was impossible to resist K 
the inimitable gusto "with which 'he w 
related this, and the presiding elders e l 
forgot all about the kuotty cases they n | 

were trying to dispose of aud laughed w 
■ iiruTtcontrollable merriment-r-^ ' *et 

“ Ills features in repose were ruther i a 
homely and liis body was very large w 
and unwieldy; yet when iii preach- N 
ing lie warmed to the subject, and T 
would begin to indulge in ■ quick n 
succession l.is enrapturing flights of t« 
eloquence, liis face would be lighted' j, 
up with a captivating radiance, ami it 
every movement of his body would b 
seem to be respousive to tlie glowing e 
sentiments as to make the impression g 
that it was the very vehicle of all t 
others iu which to convey im- 8 
passioned eloquence. A physician 1 
who entertained the Bishop during i 
one of our District Conferences, aud e 
who was quite captivated 'by him, ] 
expressed liis admiration for ills 1 
guest in tlie following extrnvagant 
and yet characteristic words : 
‘Why,’ said he, ‘he reminds me of i 
) a great big hogshead witli its hoops 
led rea dy to burBt off with genial humor, ( 
ive with gooduess of heart aud with i 
six glorious eloquence.’ 1 

68; “ There was never any friction iu 

on, the Bishop's presidency over our 

578, conference : no one stood in awe of 

it a the rap of liis gavel nor dreaded a 
rigid ruling. He allowed the broad- 
ion PB t latitude, aud appeared as a father 
fer- ready to eueourage all his sous rather 
5th- than as an officer whose stern regard 
He f 0 r law and rigid enactment of order 
hat knew no sympathy nor relaxation. 
An His decisions of law were made up 
ited U ot so much from tlie strict letter nor 

ven from close analytical construction as 

seal, from the practical bearing of the 
t no question and its relation to life and 

use* ""Every one who writes, or speaks 

, so or even thinks of Bishop Kavanaugh 

e lie will endorse tlie opinion that his 
icca- chief characteristic, ids «°wu ing 
icca- glory, was Ida uusurpassed-uot to 
, e or say, pecullkr-talent for preaching 
iffer- tlie gospel of Christ. '1 ,ert ' H ouu

had a rare use and richness of illus- | 
tratlon; but in this lie had equals, 
though not many. But there was a 
sphere in which he was unrivalled, 
a domai^i of pulpit power which they j 
who were familiar with ids preach- j| )( 
ing awarded to him alone. It wus jj v 
when the Divine atfliilux fur- p a 
nished him with a fullness and rich- W£ 
ness of expression that drew forth 
at will the most fitting words from h(| 
the treasuries of language;, when 
with thoughts coruscating with true ^ 
poetic fire ; when with life-like ^ 
images— some glowing with ecstatic 
beauty, others reeking with the odors CQ 
-oCtimtitton— as, looking down into- (() 
the clear depths of revelation, he a j 
evoked tliem from the regions of 
glory or from the realms of despair, ^ 
and, alipye all, when, witli the air 6f 
authority iielonging to one who 
lias received his -eouimissiou from ( || 
Heaven, lie himself appeared as , r 
transported with the everlasting ^ 
gospel, and by his magic power lifted 
' up his willing hearers to the same u 
j enrapturing heights. Nothing but ^ 
inspiration eoujd have given sucli Q 
1 power. No matter how richly an () 
orator may he endowed by nature, ^ 
i no matter how diligently he may ]( 
! prepare himself, the most faultless ^ 

■ productions of the most accomplished ^ 

t artists would be tame iu comparison. ^ 

t The true gospel of the transfiguration g 

> can be preached only when there . 

, is the bright cloud overshadow- ^ 
I ing aud the voice out of the cloud at- j 
testing the presence and inspiration j ^ 
i of Heaven. Here was the secret of | 

Y the wonderful pulpit power of Bishop 

t Kavanaugh. He was fond of preach- ( 
'- ing from the text, * But there is a , 
g Spirit in man, aud the inspiration of , 
s the Almighty giveth tuem under- ( 
r standing,’ and his own preaching ( 

0 waa a t once a demonstration of its 
e truth and a grand iilu 9 tratiou of its 

1 power. 

u “Our last association with Bishop 
e Kavanaugh was on Christmas Eve, 
u 1883. We had invited a few con- 
i' genial spirits to meet him and Mrs. 

Kavanaugh iu the ‘hired house ' 
le which we were using as a presiding 
rs elder's parsonage. (The very next 
iy night the dwelling was consumed 
id W ith our entire stock of personal 
— • eff ects; — Ineleid+Hg — the' ministerial- 
er labors of 'tweuty-six years, together 
ge with the manuscript records of the 
1>- Mississip pi Conference since 1813.) 
id The Bishop was iu liis happiest 
Jk m ood, playfully abandoning himself 
of to tlie enjoyment of the hour, show- 
ed'' ing a deep interest ill all that was ga- 
rni ing on and delighting tlie cojnpany 
ild by his sparkliug conversation and 
ng entertaining anecdote. One of the 
on guests who had sat under liis miuis- 
ull try, hut hud nevbr seen him in the 
m- social circle, was so charmed by the 
an lJIsiiop’s entertaining and genial 
ng wunnerB as to say that the experi- 
ud ences of such an evening would rare- 
m, ly occur again even iu a lifetime, 
liis The music, both vocal and instru- 
»nt mental, seemed to give him unfeigned 
is: joy. Particularly was lie interested 

of iu the song of “ The Bridge," by 
ups Longfellow. Were its wierd melody 
mr, and sad sentiments prophetic to him 
itli of the calamity about to befall us and 
of the translation soon to come to 
in him?

(Forty-second Letter.) ^ 

Mi/ Dear Young Friend* : About ^ ^ 
the time oi the Christian era there . 
lived a boy whose name was Wong wag 
Dsang. His mother died when he gon 
was quite young. It was not long ^' r 
before his father married again ; but 
his step-mother took a dislike to him. 

From day to day she spoke evil of wof 
the boy and accused him to liis npv 
father if everythingThat was vile of ^ 
ami detestable. This the mother 
continued to do until the father came ,. 
to feel wiTh the motlier and believed 
all her' accusations were true. At ^ 
one time, when it was very cold and 
the canals were all frozen, the step- ^ 
mother told Wong Dsang to go and sh{ 
get lier a live fish to prepare (or her 
dlnuer. HeetillldTmt purchase any 
in tlie market, for the canals were all 
frozen. He took off'his warm clothes, . 
spread them on the ice, and then lay 
upon them until tlie ico jpelted, and 
immediately two fine fish leaped out aui 
of the water. Tiiese be secured aud ^ eP 
took lo liis mother. Whether this he ^ 
true or not we call lidt say; but it , ^ 
looks very much like' a “ lisli story. 1 str* 
Whether true or false, it .certainly ^ 
has a good moral In it. He must 
have been a good boy— better, I 
should say, tlian a great many lioys 
! in America, if he was a heathen. 
There was love and obedience in 
his actions toward liis step-mother, ^ 
1 I which was very commendable. 
f | It is related of another worthy son a(J 
’ — Yang-Shang — who lived before the ^ 
Christian era, that on one occasion, , 
* wlieu fourteen years of age, he went 
‘ with liis father to tlie hills to mow m| 
the grass, when suddenly a tiger j, ai 
® came from liiH liidiug-place and car- ^ 
8 ried his father away. It is said the ^ 
8 boy rolled up his sleeves and gave ^ 
chase. At last he overtook the tiger, ^ 
P when he laid hold of him with all 
3 ‘ his might and power. He had no ^ 
'■ fear, aud he thought only of the 
9 ; rescue of liis father. The boy made 
1 such a vigorous attack upon the “ 
g tiger that tlie animal was forced to 
ct let go its hold aud flee in great ^

“J he saved the life of liis father. This ^ 
'may be so.' ' Dii'vlu destroyed the lion ^ 
er aud tlie bear, and when yet a youth ^ 
ie he slew Goliath. God was with y 
David, aud his faith was strong ill £ 
8t God. It may be that God gave ^ 
!lf strengtli to this little Chinese boy iu g 
the hour of need. At any rate we 
are convinced that the love he had = 
,y for his father was stronger and more ' 
3tl precious tlian tliat for his own life. ( 
l le More than two thousand years 
' 8 " Since there was a boy by the name of ^ 
lle Maug Tsooug, who lost his father ( 
he when he was very young. His ( 
181 mother had never been very strong, 
and as she grew older Blie became 
re " more feeble. Klie was very fond of ^ 
eating bamlioo slioots. On one occii- 
ru " sion, when it was winter, she had ] 
ied but little appetite for any food ex- 
ted cept the bamboo shoot. Her son was 
uot able to purchase auy in the 
ldy market; bo he determined to go to 
* ,u the bamboo grove aud Bearch for 
some. Not being able to find any he 
t0 wept, aud, while weeping, he dis- 
covered some bamboo shoots Bpring- 
ing up near him. He gathered them 
-ae-quickly as possible and . had them, 
prepared for his mother to eat. The 
mother began to recover at once, and 
she became strong and happy. This 
is a very pretty story, but a little 
fore exaggerated perhaps. Tlie bamboo 
Hy- shoots did uot spring up because he 
?ltl1 shed tears; but in the midst of his 
of trouble he may just have discovered 
liue them. There is oue thing certain : 
t, R it teaches a lesson of love and 
affection, and one which we can com- 
t l 10 mend to all young people-love and 
1(; a affection for our mothers, 
nils, Hevpfal thousand years since there 
mee was an officer of tlie government, 
named Yung Ke, who was a very 
uu . affectiouute soil, He was appointed 
e to to office in a certain town, to which 
you he tyeut lu a short time. Yung Ke 
:,n ' y had not been iu the town very long 
when one day he felt liis heart pal- 
pitating very rapidly aud great drops 
of perspiration came down upon his 
face. He said: "lean not under- 
stand this. There must be something 
D- ’ taking place in my home of every 
D extraordinary nature, and I must 
' go see what it is.” He left his office 
, T Jt and returned home without delay. 
' He found his father quite ill, and 


Immediately called a physician to see 
him. The physician said he must mu 
die. Tills news distressed tlie son in i 
very greatly, and lie at once prayed the 
to Heaven to take him and spare his cisi 
father, It is stated in tlie account tin 
given that, liis father recovered aud fur 
was for mauy years spared to tlie rci; 
son. It may lie that man felt that tin 
there was a God to whom he could 
pray. Many people in China say 
they worship Heaven, or, in' other . 
words,, the God of nature. They have Je 
never bad any_revelnti(in Af the will 
of God, and all they know of him iH 
what is manifested in nature around 
them. Many, no doubt, are thus 
blindly seeking after God. 

More tlian two thousand years 
since there watiB.girl, named Han Nay, al 
.who was a very affectionate child. 

Khe had a great-grandmother, and 
.Hail Nay and her mother were viyy ce 
kind aud affectionate toward her and 
left nothing undone to make her D 
happy. Sail Nay’s great-grand- 

mother was very old and had lost all 
her teetli : so that there wus scarcely 
anything she could eat, and she et 
became very feeble. Han Nay's A 

mother gave her milk front her 
; | breast, when she revived and grew C 
str&nger. When she came to die she 
called all her friends and relatives & 
1 around. her, and said: “My dough- 
ter-iu-law has been very kind to me, 

! and I trust when tlie lime comes for 
' her to have a daughter-in-law, she 
1 may have oue who will be us 
’ kind to lier as she lias been to me.” L 
Bo you see lliere ia some love and 

I affection even among the heathen in J 
8 China. 

' Homething over twelve- hundred 1 
^ years since there lived a man by the 1 
V name of Her-Tsang, who lost his i 
r father when lie was but seven years 
old. They were very poor, and liis 1 
° mother was sold to Home man to 
° become liis wife. From that time I 
' j the boy lost sight of his iliolher. In 1 
the course of time he wept to school, ! 
° became a good scholar, and \vas at 
! e last appointed to some office iu the 
6 government. At the age of fifty lie 
was appointed to some office in tlie 
° capital. The thoughts of liis mother 
8 were never out of liis mind, and lie 
‘. g felt that he could not be happy. He 
jJL det ermined _tn ..go, tile. ■iengLh.,ainl 
breadth of tlie land iu search of her, 

II with a fixed resolution not to return 
I 1 until he had passed through every 

III town and city iu search of her. l'or 
weeks and mouths he continued tiffs 

11 Bearch, and at last found lier to liis 
great joy. Hhe was then over seventy 
8 years of age. He returned witli lier, 
’ re and did all lie could to make lier, 
happy. 

Many years since there wus an 

0 officer in the city of Nankin who 
' eV loved his motlier and did all lie could 
118 to make her happy. Whatever she 
lg ' wanted he prepared for her. He 
111 ® would not suffer any oue else to wait 

° upon her, und he was very prompt in 
c8 preparing everything that would_ 
8 make her comfortable and "happy. 
eX ' This completes the list of the 
twenty-four dutiful sous aud daugh- 
ters mentioned in Chinese books to 
. ° encourage tlie young to love t)ieir 
, parents. We must acknowledge that 
,1 6 there is much here to instruct us in 
JlS the law of love aud affection. The 
,lg people are considered to be heathen ; 
6111 but you will not find circulating in 
p. 1 * 1- ilie^land anywhere, open and above

Children’s Centenary Day. 

By authority of^tlie last General 
Conference tlie Hunday-school de- 
partment of tlie Methodist Episcopal 
Church, Bouth, suggests that the 
“Children’s Day,” as set apart by 
each Annual Conference, be devoted 
wiiolly to the children of tlie church, 
and it is recommended : 

1. Where it is uot convenient to 
have tlie school more than once to- 
gether during the day, let tlie pro- 
gramme herewith furnished be used, 
if practicable. 

2 . Where it is deemed udvisable 
let the morning hour for church 
service be given to u children’s serv- 
ice, witli a short sermon to children, 
or such other exercises as may best 
secure tlie objects for which Chil- 
dren's Day was instituted.

SOMETHING TO 00.

Never inlnd If It In Min All ; 

Little things ore lout to view, 

Hut God Hies nnd bleMOH nil. 

Violets nre woe, modest «(lowors, 

Hiding In their hods of green, 
nut their perfume fills the bowers, 

Though they srnrcoly van be seen.

Are than ponnlos more sweet; 

Mueh their graceful bloom we loro, 

As they blossom round our feet. 

So do little nets we tlnd, 

Which nt first we can not see, 

Leave the fragrance pure behind, 

Of abiding charity.

A I1SOI.UTB TRUTH WITH COLLATJ/ltAL 
PROOF FIIOM WHICH TnEIlR CAN 
I1E NO APPEAL, » 


Fur the past three yeara we have had 
a standing offer of $5,000 for any state- 
ment or cure published by ub which 
was not, so far as wo know, bona title. 
We did this In order that all readers 
might know the absolute truth of all 
our assertions and that they were based 
upon the value of onr remedy and not 
upon idle words, llelow we give a few 
extracta from recent letters, which 
speak for themselves. We will only 
add that we could furniah one InlHtlrcd 
thousand more of a similar nature did 
occasion requiro, but we believe the 
entire American public is now con- 
vinced of the positive valueof Warner’s 
Safe Cure. H. H. Warner A Co.

Ilow to Treat a Cow.— Farmers 
seem to have the impression that in 
their herd they have a fountain which 
will supply them gopd, pure milk by 
simply drawing it, without much re- 
gard as to when or how. If a man 
kicks a cow in the udder the result is 
very apparent in the bloody milk ; if 
lie kicks iter in the ribs or mauls her 
on the neck the consequences may not 
be immediately visible, but damage is 
nevertheless done and loss will certain- 
ly follow.— Midland Farmer. 


I do most solemnly affirm that 
‘Warner’s Safe Cure, with God’s bless- 
“ing upon it, has cured me after I was 
“given up to die of Bright’s disease.” 
Edge Hill, Va,. C. S. Dunton. 


‘I have been Baved from the greatest 
“agony and premature death by means 
‘of Warner’s Safe Cure and cordially 
'commend it to all.” 

Edward R. Harden, 
Quitman, Ga. District Judge. 


Economy in Cooking.— U se suet in 
place of butter or lard. This will pro- 
duce excellent rosnlts, and for many 
purposes it is better than either of 
these. Some people who object deci- 
dedly to cakes fried in lard, rolish 
them when suet is used for frying. 
Beef halls are very nice fried in suet. 
Round steak cati be used for these. 
Chop the meat line, season well with 
pepper and salt, and any herb you may 
choose, shape them like Hat balls with 
your hands, dip in egg and Bne cracker 
or bread crumbs, and fry in the hot 
suet. 


‘I had the best medical skill the 
‘country afforded, but was given up to 
‘die. As a last resort I began using 
‘Warner’s Safe Cure and waa a well 
‘man in aix months, and am perfectly 
“well to-day. Ij. D. Stamps.

Vegetable Broth.— T his may be 
made of various combinations and'pro- 
portions of the vegetables used in 
making soups, to suit different tastes or 
fancies. The following recipe will 
serve as a basla. Take lour turnips, 
two carrots, one onion, and a spoonful 
of lentil Hour. Cut the vegetables in 
pieces, and boil all the ingredients to- 
gether until well cooked, in water suffi- 
cient to make a thin Houp. 


“ Less than a dozen bottles of Warn- 
‘er’a Safe Cure for kidneys and liver,

“break-down of the system. That was 
“two years ago and the cure was perm-

Steamed Pudding.— M ix three parts 
of bread or crackers cut into small 
pieces, one part tart apples cut in small 
pieces, and one part dried sweet fruit- 
raisins, dates, tigH, or a mixture of 
them, chopped line; add sufficient 
water to prevent the pudding dryini 
while cooking; mix thoroughly am 
steam four or live hours, according to 
quautity. 


“When a little girl I had measles, 
‘which culminated in a severe form of 
“chronic rheumatism. For years I 
“suffered intensely, oftentimes being 
“unable to walk because of lumbago. 
“I was treated by the best physicians 
“without results whatever. Six years 
“ago I was attacked with serious kid- 
“ney affection, which rapidly increased 
•in violence, resisting all medical skill. 
“At length every organ in tny body 
“seemed implicated. I was induced to 
“try Warner’s Safe Cure, and feel priv- 
ileged to extol it as a wonderful cure. 
“I am ready to spread its fame to the 
“four winds of heaven, so very great 
“has been my Improvement.”

To those in want , of FURNITUKh, 
we would say that the PK1C1JS HAVE 
BEEN REDUCED on every article in 
our Block, though Furniture has ad- 
vanced in value ten to twenty per cent. 
Our reason for making these reductions 
is NOT onaccouutof being overstocked, 
but our aim is to show our customers 
tn entirely new stock every season. 

To those contemplating purchases in 
our line we would say CALI, AND BE 
CONVINCED that our reductions are 
not imaginary ones, but are from fig- 
ures that are at all times guaranteed to

It uiiivs nil Imyjy mid thront tlhpascs that 
can hi* reaiTifd by human aid. 


How Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Does Such Good. 


It expels the muons front the throat juul 
till! air passaci'S of the hoail, anil 
cleanses tho mucous tucmlimtU’. 

It allays iulhimumtlon, puts a slop tn

It heals sore throat, reduces tho swollen

the waste made by the corrosion ol pul- 
monary disease. 

It puts a stop to the cunkcrotn dccuy of 
Caturrh. 


Why Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is so Perfect a Medicine. 


Because it is n selcntifleally ordered com- 
pound, of great potency, 'tho product 
of years of study, observation, and ex- 


perience in the treatment of throat and 
lung diseases. 

Because it Is prepared from the purest 
forms of tlie drugs employed in it. 
chemically combined bv a process of 
such perfection aud accuracy as would 
he unattainable, eve'll by the most 
skillful pharmacist, dealing witli small 
quantities. *• 


Because it Is pot only the mosPeflcctlve 
niatlreliio fur the. uses to which it is 
designed, hut, owing to the enormous 
quantities in Which il is made, is sold at 
so low a price that ll Is placed within 
the reach of every houselpild. 

Because it is an active curative, agent, 
that must ho taken by drops, as pro- 
scribed in the lions accompanying

Where Ayer’^ Gherry Pectoral Stands Before the World. 


It is popularly known to lie a medicine 
that has cured Itirvngeal, bronchial, 
and pulmonary iiueetlons where all 
others had failed. 

It is a favorite household remedy to-day 
' with people whose lives were saved by 
it, when they were young, a genera- 
tion ago. 

It has held the first-place in popular 
estimation for nearly half a century 
In this country, and is more and more 
highly appreciated, year after year, 
both at home and abroad. 


It evokes daily, from all over Ihe world, 
expressions of gratitude for lives saved 
by its use. 

It is everywhere recommended by repu- 
table druggists, who Know, from con- 
versations with their patrons, and 
from their own experience, how ulihost 
magical are its'dlceis for good. 

It is regularly prescribed by many physi- 
cians of the lie-t standing', aud Is recom- 
mended by Professors of Medical Col- 
* leges, to their students, as invaluable 
fur all discuses of the throat and lungs.

Are Infants Sinners? . 

If the question can bo settled as to 
what is sin, or what will constitute an 
individual a sinner, the moral status 
of infants can then he more definitely 
settled. What, then, is sinT Sin is a 
violation of the law of Cod, and con- 
sists in volition, and is manifested in 
acts, words and thoughts. Of these in- 
fants are incapable, and, therefore, can 


| Bcore. Christ, however, hhb nm ro- 
1 deemed us from the consequences of 
that sin, which still remains as a de- 
tailed Inheritance, this inheritance not 
being a sin, but giving to each a ten- 
dency to sin, consequently no one, iu a 
strict sense, can he denominated a sin- 
ner without volition and an overt act.

but ft blessing. The cheerful man en- 
joys life more in homespun than tho 
misanthrope In costly array. It makes 
his cottage dearer and rarer than a 
palace, auil hla homely fare more pala- 
table than the choicest viands. Such Is 
Its wonderful transforming power that, ; 
like the touch of Mitlaa. it changes | 
everything into gold. Mountains ol j 
trouble are levelled beforo It, and des- 
orts blossom as tho rose. It repels uls- l 
ease, and koepB the heart ireeh and the j 
head clear. It makes slumber sweet 
and restful, and drives away forebod- ! 
Inga of tho future. Cultivate this wav | 
of cheerfulness if you would takeout, 
of life the heat it has to give, and live 
long and live wisely. 

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY. 

We commend tho following from a 
gentleman in Providence, It. I., to the 
careful perusal of all who doubt the 
great curative value of our Treatment. 
After questioning, and hesitating he 
finally became alarmed at his condi- 
tion, which was steadily growing 
worse, and resolved to give Compound 
Oxygen a trial. Wlmt it did for him is 
best told In Ida own words. lie says: 

“ I commenced the use of Compound 
Oxygen after a good deal of thought, 
•and, as far as in my powor, careful 
study of the different cases which had 
been finally testified to sh to tho great 
benefit received', tut not without man;/ 

- misgivings of its great curative power.

TitlKLKS.j-The best fidelity to Christ 
Is shown ih a dally vigilant service to 
him In trilles, In odortH to honor him 
In humble, Inconspicuous service, such 
as in good temper In families, sympathy 
with man and besst, honesty In busi- 
ness, liberaliiv to servants, Ibtellty to . 
employers. These ihlntrs make up the ! 
best discipleslilp. The same truth sp- 
■ plica to many things. Tho best, paint- 
ings are these whore sueli details hh the 
blades of grass, the leaves of tho trees, 
the lines'll pon the water, and similar 
minute points, are most, perfectly de- 
lineated. Artistic excellency consists 
chiefly in the complete accuracy which 
the slothful or tho Ignorant worker can 
not or vfll) not accomplish. The great 
Italian sculptor, Mlohael Angelo, was 
once visited by an acquaintance, who 
remarked, on entering IiIh studio, 
“ Why. you have dono nothing to that 
1 tignrt since I was hero last." “ Yes,” 

* was the roply ; ” I have softoned tliis,

fidelity to apparent trilles. For only

has not ‘hit. Will you look into your 
quivers once more? God help you 
find that missing arrow! Aye, there 
it is. It is a single heart-word, telling 
how much you long lor the soul ot 
your child. Try this arrow. Its tip is 
nothing’ but the name of Jesus. Its 
wings are only your longings for a soul

Tuscaloosa, Ala., April 18.— The 
news of the passage by Congress of the 
bill donating 46,000 acres of the publio 
lands In this State to the University of 
Alabama has been received with delight 
here. This donation will compensate, 
In a great measure, for the destruction 
or the niagnlllcent library and build- 
ings of the university that were burned 
by Federal troops in 1865. 

‘The Warrior River marked fifty seven 
feet in its channel to-day, but it is now 
failing slowly. Thousands of acres of 
the richest bottom landB in the Warrior 
bottoms are under water. It is impos- 
MMo to estimate the damage done by 
this sudden and unexpected rise.

Baker, under date of April 8, as follows: 
We have provisions for live months, 
but are hemmed In by 600 determined 
and 2.000 rag tag Arab*. Our position 
will lie much better when the Nile 
riaoH. Setinenr, Kassels, Do.ngola and 
Berber are quite sale for the preseut. 

Do you think if an appeal waa made to 
the millionaires of England and the 
United States for £200,000 it would be 
available T If the Sultan of Turkey 
will send twbor throe thousand Nizams 
to Berber to Zebar Pasha we could not 
only settle affairs at Khartoum, but do 
for El Mabdl, In whose collapse the 
Sultan la necessarily Interested. 1 am 
sure If it was known how loyally the 
inhabitants and garrison of Khartoum 
hold to nte and how my lot is Involved 
In theirs, my appeal would .be consid- 
ered fully justified. 

Gen. Gordon has notified the British 
Government, owing to the difilculty 
and delay experienced In sending and 
receiving communications, that be will 
henceforth act on hls’own judgment 
and responsibility. 

London, April 18.— A fire at Rangoou 
raged two days, and destroyed forty- 
one houses ; loss, £1,2(10,000. 

Vienna, April 2L— During the per- 
formance in Slddoli’s circus, Bucharest, 
this evening, the roof of the structure 
fell in. The lights were oxtingulsjied 
and a terrible panic ensued, which was 
increased by the outbreak of fire. Five 
dead bodies and 100 wounded have 
been carried from the ruins. A large 
number of persons are missing. 

BKRMI7PA, April 21,— The French 
Bteamer Marseille, from New Orleans, 
■bound to Bordeaux, was discovered to 
be on fire three days after leaving New 
Orleans. A terrific gale was prevailing 
at the time. The natch was opened, 
and fifty bales of cotton were Jettisoned, 
but the fire was so intense that the 
crew and passengers, though working 
with the energy of men anxious to 
save their lives, had to abandon opera- 
tions, not, however, before several 
cases of asphyxlaoecurred. The hatches 
were then battered down and it was de- 
cided to sail for Bermuda, 250 miles 
distant. On arriving here, with the 
assistance of the naval authorities, the 
fire was finally extinguished. Had the 
deck of "the vessel been entirely of 
wood, nothing could have saved the 
ship.

4,000 scholars and 100 teachers and offi- 
cers. In 1859, one year after Minnesota 
was admitted as a State, a Sanday- 
Bchool Association was organized, 
which ever since has held its annual 
conventions without an intermission. 
There is, however, still room for mis- 
sionary work in the State, there being 
at least three counties which have no 
school at all ; and sixty per. cent of the 
children who attend the publio sohool 
are absent from Sunday-school.— New 
York Advocate.

Mr. Editor: The New Orleans 
Christian Advocate reaches my 
table regularly eaeli week, and is 
read with great pleasure. It lias 
been some time since you published 
any notes from Texas; sol venture 
to send you these lines. This is my 
first year in tiie Blute, and, as a 
matter of course, everything is new 
tome. I see so much to admire— so 
many things for which to praise 
God. ThiH county is well supplied 
with churches. Here, iu Rockdale, 
we have a good deal of competition 
of a godly sort— there being Bix dif- 
ferent churches iu a town of fifteen 
hundred inhabitants. The mission- 
ary Baptists are in the ascendency 
here in town ; but iu the surround- 
ing country the people as Usual are 
mostly dependent ou tiie Methodists 
for the gospel.

The late Professor Clifford, of 
England, on liis dying bed, ut-

thoughts, which are strikingly sim- 
ilar to tiie testimony of M . Kenan. 
Professor Clifford said : 

“ It cannot lie doubted tliut the 
tlieistic belief is a comfort and solace 
lo those who hold it, and that tiie 
loss of it is a very painful loss. It 
cannot lie doubted, at least by many 
of us in this generation, who either 
profess it now or have received it in 
our childhood, and have parted from 
it since with such 'searching trouble 
as only cradle-fan Its can use. We 
have seen the spring sun shine out 
of an empty heaven to light up a 
soulless earth ; we have felt with 
utter loneliness that tiie Great Com- 
panion is dead.” 

The laborers on Hie Christian side 
have no such gloom. We may die, 
but the Gospel will live. The more 
our descendants receive and believe 
and live tills Gospel we preach, the 
happier they will be. We grow 
cheerful as time goes on. and ns our 
departure is at hand. Men may live 
und men may die, but Christianity 
goes on forever.

Tiir World's Industrial and Cot'

the Fritted States government. I f so, 


The lenten season has ended with 
the plnd service of Easter. The night 
of weeping lias been succeeded by 
the joy of morning. In the Easter 
Idea ami festival thousands united 
who have ho special regard for Hines 
and seasons. They Improved the 
occasion to impress some practical 
lessons of the resurrection. But after 
all the lenten fastings and exercises, 
we ask cm/ tmr.'i What should we

of spiritual retreat, of special prayer 
and rigid Introspection? If the forty 
days were wisely employed, their In-

strength received froth those days of

many a hitter foe. Those experiences 
Would not fade away with the even-

By the small majority of eleven in 
the House of Commons a resolution 
was defeated removing Bishops from 
seals in t lie House of Lords. Two of 
the most eloquent speeches made in 
support of the resolution were by 
Wesleyaus, one of whom, Mr. S. I). 
Waddy^ will be remembered as a 
leading member of- the Ecumenical 
Conference. That vote is significant. 
The “ lords spiritual” will, have to 
leave tiie courts of C'les'stf and attend" 
'to" their appropriate business. It is 
only a matter of time. 

The following, from. F ranees Kid- 
ley Havergal, is affectionately com- 
mended to eaelt member of every 
Methodist choir : "Singing for God 
is to rue tiie most personal and direct 
commission I hold from my Master.” 
We have long thought that special 
grace was necessary to si nr/ for the 
Lord in (lie average choir. Tiie 
spirit of tiie above would forever 
banish from the sanctuary the ama- 
teur conceit and porcupine sensitive- 
ness that so often dismember choirs 
and disturb the peace of Zion. 


A distinguished layman of the 
Church of England, residing in 
Cornwall, in a reeeut “Church 
Congress” paid tills striking tribute 
to Methodism: “In the county of 
•Cornwall, were it not lor tiie minis- 
trations of tiie followers of Wesley, 
the people must have almost forgot- 
ten Christianity itself. They, tiie 
- Wesley ana, have gone op- - th e prin- 
ciple of employing everybody who 
can lie employed, and finding work 
for everybody who can work ; and 
thisisthepriuciple weshail ourselves 
have to adopt if the church is to do 
her work as it should be done." 


A good Weeleyan Methodist in 
England, u few weeks ago, in for- 
warding a thank-offering for the 
isomer Mission Fund, added these 
words i “ I believe the resurrection 
is very hear, and I would not like 
Christ to find me with muoli earthly 
coin.” How much unemployed 
earthly eotu our Lord finds when lie 
comes ami calls for his children ! 
Large amounts are hoarded ami 
withheld from the Master for a 
legacy to children, which almost in- 
variably makes of them idlers and 
spendthrifts. It surely will affect 
our reward, if not endatiger our sal- 
vation, for Christ to come and find 
us with much earthly coin. We 
ought to make it, in order to wisely 
■use it. 


Tiie Roman Catholics of ViekH- 
burg have recently conducted a suc- 
cessful "fair” in that city. Among 
other articles disposed of was an 
" elegant silver sugar-bowl voted to 
tiie most popular bar-room.” We 
read that item with profound sorrow, 

though not surprise, in a Vicksburg ! tiuii— a full atonement for 


paper last week. Tiie idea of church 
people, who profess to believe and 
practice tiie teachings of tiie Lord 
Jesus Christ, dignifying ami sancti- 
fying the whisky business in such 
way, is shocking to tiie most obtuse 
moral sense. An article of fiirnitHre 
for a liar-room— a den of death, 
where crime and criminals Congre- 
gate, where Christianity's deadliest 
foe is enthroned— is displayed and 
voted off to raise funds for Christ's 
kingdom. “ The most popular bar- 
room!” "Popular” wit ti church 


excess of worldly gaiety. It is too 
great violence to the aims and sin- 
cerity of those leoteu confessions, 
prayers and good resolutions. But, 

| alas! what are the facts? In all good 
conscience, we must relate them as a 
lesson of warning to our readers. 

■Our observation is that as lent is 
preceded by- (Shrove Tuesday— Fat 
Tuesday ” — with its wild revelries 
and sinful follies, it is succeeded by 
an excessive Wovldliness that seems 
to riot in its eecape from a forty 
days’ painful restraint. Tills is his- 
tory, known and read of all men, in 
■every local community where 
churchjsin lilts a name and habita- 
tion. Not only so, but the lenten 
period is much employed in plan- 
ning amusements anti providing cos- 
tumes (or tiie same when the time of 
freedom shall arrive, Nor are these 
gaieties planned alone by youthful 
giddiness, that make no religious 
pretension, hut most generally by 
certain ardent church women, who 
carry on their shoulders ‘tint burdens 
of fashionable Eion. Those who are 
full of ecclesiastical “small talk”— 
who prate aiiout the church and its 
beautiful service, and whose religious 
pride Is to ensnare and proselyte the 
weak-kneed of other denominations. 
They are tiie .patrons of the dance 
and chaperones of the young in ail 
worldly vanity. Though patnful, 
we do not hesitate to say it; that 
society church women are the blight 
and mildew of true piety in many 
communities. They shame evangel- 
ical conviction and aspiration out of 
hundreds who, under other influ- 
ences, might ‘have developed into 
saints and heroes. We have known 
more than one to offer the sparkling 
glasH'to a young man, and, overcom- 
ing his scruplee, lead him out into all 
-the mazes of the sinful dnnoe. Then 
it 1 b high time for every true believer 
•In spiritual religion to lift a danger 
signal and sound a note of warning. 
When worldly conformity is. en- 
throned in aud condoned by the 
ohureh, it becomes an enemy of re- 
doubled aud more, subtle power. 
Against it every pulpit ought to be- 
come a throne of thunder, and every 
young Christian urged to flee the 
fatal suare. Tiie Lord called Meth- 
odism into beiug to protest against 
lifeless form and worldly compro- 
mise in tiie church. And that call iaj 
as clear and imperative to-day as 
when tier , first itinerants rang out 
Heaven’s alarm-peal over slumbering 
England. We have no mission hut 
to protest against -sin in and out of 
the church, and to. conserve evangel- 
ical religion. 

The after-lent practice of the aver- 
age church people is a reversal of all 
spiritual philosophy. The idea of 
the lenten period aud appointment 
is Christian growth aud attainment. 
A special season of meditation and 
prayer for better service and holier 
living during the entire year. But 
in ordinary estimation it is an offset 
to folly— an equivalent for any 
amount of " pleasure." Lent, faith- 
fully otiserved, is a license for relaxa- 
all social 


Thus Methodism was oboe denom- 
inated and stigmatized. Having no 
other shelter our brave itinerants 
gathered their eager congregations 
into barns and preached to them the 
word of life. What a striking paral- 
lel, therefore, in this taunt and the 
birth of bur Lord. Ours was “the 
religion of barns,” aud lie was the 
child of the manger. Why should 
we not begin in our Lord's birth- 
place? Bo what was said In deri- 
sion was Indeed an eloquent 
tribute to Methodism's Christ- 
ly spirit and zeal. But tiie 
Master did not always dwell in a 
manger. He was willing to be born 
there, but not make it a place of 
residence. From thence he preached 
in temples and tabernacles, on the 
mountain top an'd by the shining 
sea. So if to meet the necessities of 
the early times our fathers had to 
preach in barns, we need not do so 
now. Let us build chaste and beau- 
tiful temples for our ljord. He de- 
serves our costliest sacrifice, aud is 
well pleased with a fitting taber- 
nacle for his dwelling-place. Oil 
this subject we quote, to commend, 
some words from the London Watch- 
man : • 

Let us not forget that the beautiful 
is useful. Ornament, decoration, 
costliness, all have their use in the 
church of God. We may care for the 
poor without neglecting the rich, 
and we may work in the slums with- 
out forsaking tiie middle classes. 
Surely wears not called upon to hide 
ourselves altogether in slums and 
hack streets. An ugly building on a 
had site is no necessary recommenda- 
tion of religion. God lias made his 
works attractive tiy their beauty as 
well as by their use. In sound, taste, 
colbr ami form God has revealed the 
beauty of holiness, for there is 
sense in which beauty Is the perfec- 
tion of holiness. Let us follow the 
example of the God of nature, and 
while we have many tilings useful' 
let us have some tilings useful for 
•their beauty. Why not have a 
monumental structure in London? 
Beautiful for its architecture aud 
valuable' in its use? So of other 
•cities in the kingdom. Why should 
not Methodism plant her standard 
where all men may behold it. Monu- 
mental structures such as we now 
contemplate are not ill the imme- 
diate present, and they maybe only 
in the distant future. Yet they will 
surely come as Methodism increases 
in her wealth and expands in her 
usefulness. We have no sympathy 
with the outcry against the beautiful 
in Methodist arrangements. ’ We 
should as soon think' of saying that 
the (lowers ought to be turned iulo 
grass and vegetables, to provide food 
for man aud beast. 


tabernacle, they wont do anything, 
or else do it very grudgingly. How 
much contention for place! How 
much jealousy of those more highly 
favored, if not honored! It requires 
a large measure of grace, and the 
soundest spiritual philosophy, to 
cheerfully acknowledge ourselves 
beat adapted to the dust-pan. But 
that is exactly the point in the story. 
When the little fellow was con- 
vinced that lie hadn’t strength to 
use tiie broom, he gladly accepted 
the dust-pan. So when Providence 
indicates unfitness for ^ certain 
work, aud opens the way for other 
service, we should willingly obey. 
David's door-keeper spirit, and the 
little boy’s , dust-pan experience are 
degrees of spiritual attainment to be. 
earnestly coveted. But they are only 
possible to the strongest faith aud 
truest humility. 

But If the spirit of the dust-pan is 
to be applauded, it§ value must not 
be underestimated. The dust-pan 
is an important piece of household 
furniture. Without ib-tbe broom is 
valueless, and its skillful use the 
idlest employment. The dusl-jian 
must carry out tiie sweepings or iiie 
broom need not be used. So the lit- 
tle fellow was not unemployed or 
idly employed. He was rendering a 
needed service — doing what mother 
or sister would have had to do. So 
theseeuiingly humblest places in the 
Lord's kingdom- may have equal im- 
portance with the highest. * The 
doorkeeper may as truly serve God 
as the master of the temple We are 
all members of tiie Lord's body, and 
one of another." Every member lias 
not tiie same office, but each has an 
important ofjlcc. Anti in the great 
day these shall share alike in. the re- 
wards of tt\e righteous. In tiie wars 
of Isiael those who “tarried by tiie 
stuff” were equally rewarded witli 
those who went forward to the frown- 
ing front of battle. It was a Divine 
statute, Aud so they who hold tiie 
dust-pan are alike valuable in tiie 
temple service with those who wield 
the broom. O! for the grace of the 
dust-pan. 


session of ;” and tiie pastoral letter 
of the Assembly of 18811 makes tills 
startling announcement: "The de- 
crease of ministers, If not remedied,

mentality to carry It fill.” 


What Shall I Do? 


nntur 


Holding the DusGPan, 


sinning. The most worldly, who 
punctiliously keep lent, count tliem- 
j selves quite respectable Christians. 
Forty days of prayer aud fasting en- 
title them to large liberty. And thus 
lent becomes a rock of offense and 
stone of stumbling. Its fruits do pot 
appear-, and (lie convlcf|on is irre- 
sistible that the spirit of eousecratiou 
was conspicuously absent. When 
Moses held audience with God only 
for a little while on tiie mountain, 
lie came down witli a shining face 
and a mighty fuith., Ajid tlils'forty- 
people— Christ's disciples, who claim ,| H y communion with thfe Master 
that they only have the covenanted oughUo show itself in the couute- 
inercUs of G .d. Alas! for the purity ounce, speech atd walk of every 
and peace of /mu when she enjoys child of the church. If not, why 
and covets such popularity. K.i the not? 

Romanists of Vicksburg have a 


“ popular bar-room ” — a place where 
“ liquid damnation ” is dispensed in 


It is said that at least ten thou- 
sand persons, within a radius of 
the name of tiie Lord Jesus, aud uu- , thirty miles of New York, live from 
der the patronage of.his church. j the cultivation of flowers. 


We heard this charming story told 
-some days ago with tine effect. A 
little girl besought her mother to al- 
•low her to assist in sweeping the 
house. When permission was grant- 
ed- h er you trger bTOthbrTa lTtiJ# tod- 
dle. begged that he might help. It 
was objected that he was too small. 
What can you do? said his sister. 
(You can’t handle the broom. 

“ Well,” said he, “ I can hold the 
dust-pan." The lesson of the iuci 
•dent is as useful as it is beautiful. 

The spirit of the little fellow is 
worthy of ail emulation. He wanted 
aehare in household work. To help 
his mother— in any wise to lighten 
her burdens — was a supreme joy. 
He would not select the charac- 
ter of work— would not Bhirk 
something because disagreeable 
and prefer something else he. 
pause less difficult— but was ready 
f&r anything mother would al- 
low, -not command. Such a spirit we 
need to carry in all Christian work— 
a readiness, yea, an eagerness, to 
help the Master's cause wherever 
and whenever possible. The highest 
expression of Christian service is 
not a oold, calculating sense of duty, 
but the impulse ami unrestrained 
constraint of the love of Christ. Paul 
expressed it when he said: “Neces- 
sity is laid upon me.” The desire 
was imperative and irresistible— a 
passion for saving souls that eould 
not be arrested or con ti net). Such a 
spirit will not seek easy or honorable 
places, but will hurry to tiie point 
where necessity is most immiueut 
aud the burdens greatest. Our love 
for tiie Master aud his cause should 
make us delight in every opportunity 
to be employed. 

But if the little boy’s spirit waB 
eager, it was none the Ichs humble, 
In order to join sister la helping 
mother he was willing to stand near 
aud only hold the dnst-pan. The 
humblest place was sufficiently hon- 
orable, if mother’s burdens could be 
relieved, and her weary bands could 
be spared.a little labor. If unable to 
wield the broom, he eagerly sought 
to hold the dust-pan. There is a 
practical .and striking lesson for 
every local church and individual 
Christian. Thesuinehumility should . 
control tiie character of our service— 
a willingness to occupy the lowest 
place, if need be, for the Master’s 
sake. Not every Christian lias grace

Comparative Progress. 


So asked tiie rich man whose 
groumlsliad produced so bountifully. 
So asked tiie terrified jailor of Paul. 
So asks the penitent. The question 
is spontaneous. Man feels that sal- 
vation is contingent upon some act 
on his part. Or rattier salvation is 
not so much a condition. In which to 
luxuriate as an opportunity to do. 
Perhaps it was in tiie conclusion 
reached by the rich man simply to 
eiijoy as an end of being that his sin 
and folly consisted. He studied life’s 
game through according to his way 
of thinking, and saw at tiie conclu- 
sion eat, drink, be merry ; after that 
nothing. 

The question is reiterative. There 
are epochs at which it returns witli 
overwhelming- force ; but,- tiiere is 
hardly a point in all life at which it 
does not come sufficiently strong to 
suggest thought. If success crowns 
one enterprise it is then in order to 
ask, What shall I do now ? Tiie con- 
ditions of success may lie changed. 
Success itself may cease to he such. 
Seldom iu li/e does man achieve 
highest .triumph without first felt as 
David: “All thy waves have gone 
over me.” v .Sq that (lie question 
comes in that fearful hour: Wbnt 
shall I do? Resource is certainly 
not exhausted. Spirit loves to lie 
thrown upon its secret treasures. 
Tiie sensual and material may lie ad- 
verse, hut Heat is ho argument 
against, but rather in favor of draw- 
ing "on spiritual ‘supplies. When 
David’s enemies used tiie material 
forces against him lie said: “But I 
give myself to prayer.” The mate- 
rialist sneers at the devout soul’s 
prayer in distress: "Why not pray 
in tiie midst of your joy, and not 
come now. in your extremity to 
pray?” Simply because it is not na- 
tural to groan to-day because I know 
I shall have toothache to-morrow. 

The question is cumulative. Life’s 
plot thickens as we advance. Every 
step beyond tiie cradle we tread upon 


sordid sentiments of the 
mail. 

'“ He that Is willing to; ,| n 
know.” The converse Is 
true. He that does no*. des| r ,. tn ^

A correspondent of tiie Louisville 
Christian Observer makes a vigorous 

mathematical argument on tiie pres- fThe lofcse ends of that interminable 

web which we are either to weave or 
soon twist into hopeless tangle. To 
gather them up straight and un- 
kinked for tiie woof is no slight 
task ; hut how many heedless, how 
many malicious, how many helpless, 
how many unwisely or too officious- 
ly loving have scattered amt inter- 
twined tiie threads of t heir life witli 
ours or tried to engage us in tiie 
weaving of their designs instead of 
tiie celestial one which our own bou! 
lias in its ideals. Who dues not re- 
member that when -in almost child- 
hood tills question came first (lie 
spirit caught up tiie few long, strong 
aud beautiful threads and answered 
In sweet fuljth and ardor :, “Til live 
for love and all that it signifies, 
whether it heats in a mother’s heart 
or flutters in an angers pinion.” So 
childhood built its castles iu tiie 
elysian fields, where flowers dew- 
spangled slept and dreamed away 
tiie hnurs. The question returned to 
tiie youth. Glory and worldly noise 
had caught him ; hut still tlietli reads 
were not. too many. But lie begun to 
study the designs that were tn .lie 
tilled in tiie web— perplexity, hesita- 
tion and doubt for riitr=#rst time

entstandaril of education and method 
of ministerial training iu the Pres- 
byterian Church. He shows how 
rapid has been the progress of the 
Methodist aud Baptist Churches as 
compared with the Presbyterian, 
aud attributes their slowness to ttie 
want of ministers. And that felt 
want is chargeable to the tedious and 
expensive methods employed in 
their training. While we favor an 
educated ministry, believing that 
the l argest efficie ncy, is. dependent 
upon ample preparation, tiiere is 
great force iu tiie brother's argu- 
ment. Our neighbors do put tiie fod- 
der too high, both as to "time and 
character of training. It is poor re- 
sponse for a great church to make to 
the Master about her meager results—' 
the few saved out of the world's per- 
ishing millions— that she was study- 
ingllebrew roots and Greek idioms. 
Well enough to have large scholar- 
ship. hut to prescribe the same stand- 
ard for all strikes us as unnecessary 
and unwise. If practicable we would 
have every preacher collegiately edu- 
cated, but woultl oppose a uniform 
standard and method. The wisdom 
of the plan adopted by the Method- 
ists is eloquently approved by mar- 
velous results. If we have boasted 
of fewer technical scholars, we have 
rejoiced in more wise evangelists, 
whose crowns are gemmed witli 
stars, and whose works do follow 
them. The following statistics, com- 
plied with much care from, official 
sources, we quote from tiie Observer 
correspondent : 

In 1775 the Methodist and Presby- 
terian Churches stood relatively 
thus: The first had ”0 ministers and 
3 418 members,; tiie second 140 min- 
isters and about 30 000 members. In 
lfjBO they were in ministers and 
members relatively tints: The Meth- 
odist had 22 683 ministers and 3 574,- 
485 members and the Presbyterian 
8 538 ministers and 037 000 members. 
In tiie hundred years noted the popu- 
lation increased 47 times, the Presby- 
terian Church 47 times ami the 
Methodist 1.051, and tiie ministry of 
the two denominations increased 
thus: Presbyterian 00 fold, aud tiie 
Methodist 1 120 times. 

In the territory covered by the 
Synod of Virginia, where, humanly 
speakiug, Presbyterianism hud all 
tiie advantage in the start over 
Methodism, tiie two denominations 
now stand thus: Methodist. 1 185 
churches, 408 ministers and 102 741 
mem hers. Presbyterian. 320 church- 
es, 210 ministers and 25,437 members. 
In 1872 we had 205 cainlidates f ir tiie 
ministry aud in 1882 only 180. In 
1878to 1882 our ministry increased 37 
iu 00 presbyteries, and, taking min- 
isters and licentiates together, we 
bad in 1883 seven fewer than in 1870. 
The number of vacant churches in 
tbe 00 presbyteries was 473. In Vir- 
ginia there are 42 counties, In North 
Carolina 34 aud iu Kentucky 60 
without Presbyterian preaching, 
aud these are our strongest synods.

TltAlNlNtt IN NATUltAI,.H(UKN0E.— It 
Ih proponmi To rnakn’ tho I raining In 
natural artettoo the main part of etltiea- 
tlon, for the urpat mHlorlly of mankind 
at anv rate. And Horn, I eonfeka. 1 part 
company with tho friendt* of phyalctil 
science, with whom tip to this point I 
have been anreohiK. In (llflerinp; from 
thorn, however, I wish to proceed with 
tho utmost caution and ditttdonce. Tho 
smallness of my acquaintance with the 
j disciplines of natural science is ever 
before mv mind, and 1 am fearful of 
doitiK them injustice. The ability of 
llte partisans of natural science makes 
(hem formidable persons to contradict. 
The tone of tentative inquiry, which 
beilta a being of dim facilities and 
bounded knowledge, is tho touo I 
would wish to take anil not to depart 
from. At present it soeniH to me that 
those who are for giving to natural 
knowledge, as they call it, tho chief 
place in the education of tho majority 
of mankind, leave one important thing 
out of their aooount— the constitution 
of human nature. Hut I put this for- 
ward on tho strength of some facts not 
•ft all recondite, very far from It; facts 
Capable of being stated in the simplest 
possible fashion, and to which, if I so 
stale them, the man of science will, 1 
am sure, he willing to allow their due 
weight. 

Deny the facts altogether, I think, lie j 
hardly 'can. He can hardly deity, that" 
when wo sot ourselves to enumerate 
the powers whi ch go to tho bu ilding up 
of liliiiiau lltP.flml say that they are the 
powor of conduct, tho power' of intellect 
and linowlodgo, tho power of beauty, 
and tho power of social life and man- 
ners— he Can hardly deny that this 
scheme, though drawn in rough atitl 
plaiit linos and not protondingloBoien- 
ti tic exactness, does yet give a fairly 
true representation of tho matter'. 
Human nature is built up by these 
powers; wo have the need for them all. 
This is evident enough, and the friends 
of physical science will admit it. Blit 
perhaps they may not have imlliciently 
observed another tiling: namely, that 
these powers just mentioned are not 
isolated, but there is in the generality 
of mankind a perpetual tendency to re- 
late them one to another in divers 
ways. With one such W113- of relating 
them I am particularly ooncerned now. 
Following our instinct for intellect and 
know.ledgo, we acquire pieces of knowl- 
edge; and presently, in the generality 
of men, there arises tho doeiro to roliile 
these pieces of knowledge to our sonso 
for conduct, to our sense for beauty — 
and there is weariness and dissatisfac- 
tion it' tho desire is baulked. Now in 
this desire lies. [ think, the strength of 
that hold which letters have upon us.— 
'•-“hew Arnold, in The Manhattan.

I S FLUKN'CK OP SCIENCE ON RELIGION. 
—While the beliefs to which analytic 
science thus loads are such as do not 
destroy the object'-mattor of religion, 
but simply transfigure It, eclence under 
Its concrete forms enlarges the sphere 
for religious sentiment. From the 
very beginning the progress of knowl- 
edge has been accompanied by an in- 
creasing capaeityTor wonder. Among 
savages, the lowest are the least sur- 
prised wheii shown remarkable prod- 
ucts of civilized art, astonishing the 
traveler by their IndllTeronce. And so 
little of tiie marvelous do they perceive 
in the grandest phenomena of Nature 
that any inquiries concerning them 
they regard as childish trifling. This 
contrast in mental attitude between the 
lowest human beings and the higher 
human beings around us is paralleled 
by the contrasts among the grades of 
these higher human beiugs themselves. 
It is not the rustic, nor the artisan, nor 
the trader, who sees something rnord 
than a mere matter of course in the 
batching of a chick ; but it is the biolo- 
gist, who, pushing to the uttermost Mb 
analysis of vital phenomena, reaches 
his greatest perplexity when a speck 
of protaplaBrn utldSr'Tbfj' microscope 
shows him life in its simplest form, 
and makes him feel that however he 
formulates its processes the actual play 
of forces remains unimaginable. Nei- 
ther in tho ordinary tourist nor in the 
deer-stalker climbing the mountains 
above him does a Highland glen rouse 
ideas beyond those of sport or of the 
picturesque; but it may, and often 
does, in tiie geologist. He, observing 
that the glacier-rounded rock he sits 
on lias lost by weathering but half an 
inch of its surface since a time far more 
remote than the beginnings of human 
civilization, and then trying to conceive 
the slow denudation which has cut out 
the whole valley, has thoughts of time 
and of power to which they are stran- 
gers— thoughts which, already utterly 
inadequate to their objects, he feels to 
be still more futile on noting the con- 
torted beds of gneiss around, which tell 
him oi a time, immeasurably more re- 
mote, when far beneath the earth’s sur- 
face they were in a half-melted state, 
aud again tell him of a time, immensely 
exceeding this' in remoteness, when 
their components were sand and mud 
on the shores of an ancient sea. Nor is 
it in the primitive peoples who sup- 
posed that the heavens rested on the 
mountain-tops, any more than in the 
modern inheritors of their cosmogony 
who repeat that 11 the heavens declare 
the glory of God,” that we find tiie 
largest conceptions of the universe or 
the greatest amount of wonder excited 
by contemplation of it. Rather, it is in 
the astionomer, who sees in the sun a 
mass so vast that even into one of his 
spots our earth might be plunged with- 
out^touclilng its edges; and who bjr 
every finer telescope is shown an in- 
creased multitude of Buch suns, many 
of them far larger.— Herbert Sponcer, 
in Popular Science Monthly. 

Believing that our need of a Lord’s 
day is as great as ever it was, and that, 
therefore, its observance is God’s will, 
and Is likely, so far as we see, to be so 
to the end of time, I should think it 
most mischievous to weaken the re- 
spect paid to it.— Dr. Thomas Arnold,

us that nine-tenths of the diseases 
whioh have been steadily growing 
worse in Bpite of the best medical 
treatment the oonntry afforda, can be 
cured or greatly helped by the use of

“Wo IiIosh tliy holy lianio,' our 
Father, lor the irmnifolil bleesllig thou 
hast bestowed," nnil the eoiizregatloii 
! snid Amen, some even audibly. Those 
among them, who wore really In earn- 
est, doubtless looked backward ovor 
llte and recalled some facts along the 
lino for which they woro truly grateful- 
Others, If they heeded at all, concluded 
il was only a part of tho ceremony and 
tho preacher returned thanks bocauso 
it was customary. 

May bet as tho minister recounted tho 
mercies Vouchsafed, all agreed for 
awhile that " every good gilt! dtul every 
period gilt is from above, and cometh 
down from the Father of lights vyith 
whom is no variableness neither 
Hhadow of turning.” 

" liy thoir fruits yo shall know thorn .’ 1 
Wero they in earnest concerning this 
important matter? Iiul did they bring 
any gills in return for those “good and 
perfect gilts” Which tliey had rocoivod? 

Those devojnt worshipers Would liavo 
gotten mad if some one had sug- 
gested to .them that they were oll'ering 
up thanksgivings devoid of merit. 
Brother, its a glorious thing to bo a 
Christian. I mean a real, live, earnest 
Christian, to have tho heart aglow with 
divine love and the life in unison and 
harmony With tied ; ho tlmt the wliolo 
man, with all its energies and faculties, 
is subservient to and controlled by the 
law of perfect love, 

Wlml are wo doing to merit all theso 
blessings. Murmuring streams, spark- 
ling and glistening in the sunlight, do, 
not run through desert sands without 
effect. They gladden the earth as tliey 
meander along so that the “dry and 
thirsty;- land ” rejoices and blossoms 
like a rose. Tho land becomes fertile 
and brings lortl) grass and flowers and 
perchance' bread to strengiiten and feed 
nm. .kind, So tliiH strei.m, whose source 
is heaven, and which flows through 
in. man hearts, should adorn and beau- 
tify the course thereof. Are we grate- 
ful? Yes. Then let us give expressions | 
to that gratitude. Let us have a little 
more concrete thankfulness. Show 
your faith hy your works, and thon we 
shall know it and il won't then he so 
halting anil dubious, hut will he more 
symmetrical rounded and developed- 
And because strength lias been added 
to one's faith more \yprk can lie done. 
True work. The work in the Master’s 
vineyard is only l lie expression . of 
faith, and faith unexpressed is always 
hidden, and as far as llio world is con- 
cerned might as well not exist. 

Rendering thanks is one way of ex- 
pressing faith. Thank offerings should, 
it seeniH to me, he in sound currency, 
and then tho principle in which it is 
given he honest, legiil and true, that 
will lie a solidity about both thought 
and dood that will he firm and lasting. 
Avarice will strangle ail piety. I can 
not see how an ungrateful, penurious 
man can enjoy religion! The ideal 
Christian life will not develop in such 
an unheally atmosphere. I. ike all 
lhi.|i ga. UnU g roy. rh-h soil, generous | 
culture slid pure light are ossentjal. 

" Freely have ye received, freely give.” 
Pay your preachor and support your 
church actuated by the same motive 
that you say your prayers., And that 
motive should ho to live. a godly life 
hero to bless the world hy your being 
in it, and Have yourself, together with 
as many others as possible.

)?. J. Kknuai i. Co., Gents - I Dlii* pleasure In 
Informing >ou that I uHeit nearly all of the bottle of 
Kendal I'* Spavin Cure that you sent me from St. 

Louis, according to directions, stud to my satisfaction 
(and I must say to my surprise) in about two weeks 
my mare was entliely will of tlie lanlenos-i caused I a a . 
by a hog spavin of over one year's standing and in 1 
three weeks time the swelling was all gone and the 
mare is now entirely well and can trot as glib as 
ever. I consider i lie holt le of Kendall's Spavin Cure 
woith to me $ ."•<), dO. as the animat was worthless, as 
she was oiUhree 1 gs and could scarcely get around 
on them uinl now she is the linest buggy-animal In 
tiiesf parts, amt wit li the i eminent of t he bottle after 
curing the mare 1 have nearly /.’tired a very severe 
cora on the hull of my big toe iliat has given me 
great imiu for two or three years. I Imve 'only ap- 
plied Kendall’s Spavin Cure four times and the corn 
now is nem lv out hy tlie roots mid without any pain. 

In short I think it is tlie best liniment that Is lu use. 

I have Kendall's Treatise on the Horse ami his Dis- 
eases ami T would nut take any money for It If I 
could not get another. Hoping you great success I 
remain Yours respectfully.

KENDALL’S SPAVIN CURE. 

Hutchinson’s Ranch, 12 miles uorih of Denver, Col. 

March 5th. 1883. 

Dr. R. .1. Kbndam. Co., Gents:— F*or the past 
three years I have used Kendall’s Spavin Cure. In 
every case of spavin, of which I have treated five, It 
has killed them all. and entirely removed three. In 
case of splint I find it lias no equal, one case I had 
was of tli rep years standing and the S* avln Cure re- 
moved It entirely. 1 had a cow got spavined and It 
entirely cured her. One year ago a two hundred 
pound block of Ice Ml out of a wagon striking my 
•Amt (III “inetepiMnhmivsr dt impossible •*o- 

mush a foot worse without breaking any hones. I 
was taken home and carried Into the house. I do 
not llitnk amputation of.the leg would cause any 
more pain. I went for Kendall’s .Spavin Cure, It was 
all I used and in six days 1 could walk around. 

About three weeks ago my teRiu ran away tthd Ihrew 
me out of the wagon, tlie hind wheel struck my knee. 

After applying several highly recommended lini- 
ments without obtaining any relief. I went for Ken- 
dall's Spavin Cure. Mv leg was drawn up ami my 
knee swollen badly. In three days I was aide to 
walk to the barn. 1 could go into details more fully, 
and make tills a very long letter hut will not weary 
you. I am veiy respectfully yours.

R. J. Kfndai.L A 'Co., Gentlemen I feel It a 
dutv to oDiers suffering with the piles mid falling of 
the rectum to write to you. I have had the piles and 
prolapsus of the rectum for live years, for the past 
three years I have suffered the most agonizing pain. 

Tried everything yitnout relief, but after ten days 
use of Kendall's Spavin Cure I have not seen or 
heard of the piles since. One who has not suffered 
as 1 have can not loniprehend tlie great Joy that I 
fe«M at being cured of a disease almost worse than 
death. I had a. valuable young horse that had a 
large bunch gather on his hfeast hone. I ' tried all 
kinds of liniments and had It cut - open without any 
benefit, riaw your advertisement and bought a bot- 
tle of Kendall's Spavin Cur«’ and ordered my team- 
ster t«> use as directed. In less than one week the 
lump Im.l llsttppenred. Thinking that a liniment 
that would do' what Kendall's Spavin Cure lias done 
for my >" >e mil lit benefit more. I tried it as.u last 
resort*. W'-th gratitude aiid best wishes for your 
success. 1 am latthfullv yours,

FOREIGN. 

London, April 24. —In the House of 
Commons Mr. Gladstone refused to 
stale what reply had been sent to 
F.nypt's suggestion in regard to the re- 
lief of Berber. Berber, lie said, was 
doubtless in danger, but Khartoum 
was in no danger, either military or 
any oilier. The government fully rec- 
ognized tne obligation they were under 
for the safety of Gordon-, and should 
pul lliemselves in position to render all 
needful assistance. 

Princeas Alice’s memoirs contains 
Iter complete correspondence with the 
(Jueen until her death. The work ex- 
cites greater excitement than did the 
ijueen’s hook. Fifteen thousand copies 
were issued us the first edition. 

.Halifax, April 25,.— Capt. Scott, iu 
an ollioial report of the result of the in- 
quiry into tho loss of the sieamer Dan- 
iel sieinmanii, says ('apt. Sohoouboven 
made no observations the day of the 
disaster, slid was, therefore, uncertain 
of liis position. The niglit-was _ilark_ 
and foggy and rainy, audit was highly 
iiriprudeht'under ail tho circumstances 
to attempt to enter tho port' of Halifax, 
it was clearly his duty to haul oil’ 
shore until able to verify his position 
and obtain a pilot. To those circum- 
stances alone. can he attributed the loss 
of a fine ship and the lives of 124 per- 
sons. 

London, April 20. — A lire in tho 
premises of William Whitely, dealer lu

Madrid, April 27.— By tho breaking 
of a railroad bridge near Cuidad Ileal,

Kkmkdy for Buffalo Gnats.— I 
see in your paper that farmers in North 
Mississippi are losing stock, from luif 
falo gnats. If tlie owner will stand the 
“stock in water that will reach one-third 
up his side for from twenty to thirty 
jninutbs, the mule or horse will be re- 
lieved at once and permanently cured. 
This is very simple and may look un- 
reasonable, but it coals uotlilng to try 
it, and if tried, the owner of gnat poi- 
soned stock will lie, surprised and de- 
lighted at the results. I have tried and

Mr. Editor: -Fora few years tills 
young Indian, Dixon Lewis, was 
connected with the Mississippi Con- 


ried conviction home to the heart. I 
felt then that he was eminently a 
man of God. My brother, Alex- 
ander Drake— two years older than 
myself, was powerfully converted at 
one of the camp meetings; but I 
could find no peace. 

At one camp meeting, uot far from 
Nashville, we hearij one night a 
sermon by a young, man, aud the 
power of the Hpirit attended his 
preaching. Durlug hissermon I saw, 
as it were, a halo of light appear just 


I know now. why it was I could not 
rejoice. The holy life of this dear 
aunt was a great blessiDg to me, for 
her life of constant devotion and 
praise to God was ever before me. 
She has gone to that bright home 
prepared for the people of God to sing 
the “ new song” of redemption.

ference, and preached in Lauderdale above him and rest upon his head 


district to whites and Indians. In 
IS47 he went West with the Choc- 
taws, and continued to labor among 
them until the close of his life, 
which took place in 1S57. His last 
sermon, in September of that year, 
was from this text in Hebrews : 
"For here we have no continuing 
city: but we seek one to come." 
When bis sermon was ended lie was 
seized with typhoid fever, and died 
very soon. A closing paragraph in 
a letter written by some one to his 
Christian friends in Mobile was as 
follows: "Tell his friends that he 
'lied without a struggle, aud all is 
well with him now.” He was not 
only a zealous preacher of tlie gospel, 
but he was an able counsellor of his 
nation. As adelegate to Washington, 
be had more influence with the ad- 
ministration than any other man in 
Lis nation. This Sunday-school, of 
I raiiklin Street Church, Mobile, 
undertook the support of another 
Indian, aud continued it for two 
years until he declined continuing 
bis studies. 

Li 18Ji,-Jn_.the Franklin Street 
Sunday-school, was made tlie first 
move in tlie city to prevent the dese- 
rtion of the Sabbath. Tlie tlrst on- 
slaught was made on tlio Sunday 
market. Mr. McLellau was' tlie priu- 
Lpul mover, and was successful. 

Speaking of my father,' one who 
knew him well writes thus : “ I feel 


I spoke to my father about it, aud 
was told that the preacher was the 
Rev. J. B. Walker. It was my privi- 
lege for ‘many years to know him 
while he labored iu the Mississippi 
Conference as a member of that body. 
He has been and is still a most emi- 
nently useful member of the Louisi- 
ana Conference. 

After a visit of four months in 
Sumner county, Tenu., we returned 


“8a j uot thou, What is the cause that the former 
days were better than these? for thou dost not In- 
quire wisely concerning this.”— Ecclesiastes vll, 10. 

In the Advocate, of April 3, is an 
article entitled, “ A Word to Preach- 
ers— A Centenary Thought,” by “ J. 
W. M.” I am sorry the brother did 
not sign his name. Methodist preach- 
ers (I presume he is such) should al- 
ways sign their names to what they 
write. 

He begins his dolorosa of doubt by 


missions than they did then. 

“ J. W. M.,” and others of his 
thought, may tell us that the world 
had a better type of Christian life 
then than it has to-day ; but when 
we read that twenty-four times more 
money is given for missions now 
than then, and when we read that 
oqe hundred apd forty-seven times 
more Christian men and women are 
suffering the toil and privations of a 
missionary's life now than then, we 
can afford to smile at the mail who 
sighs for the good old times when the 
members of the church were better 
' and there was more spirituality.

SEVENTH l’Al’ER. 

U’erce's Creek was a good- appoint- 
mehlTm tlie Wilkinson circuit. Here 
we had a new atui commodious church, 
and congregations usually large. After 
- presetting there at eleven o'clock A. 
M., I rode ten miles to till an appoint, - 
ment in tilt* evening at Fort Adams,, 
where we had but few members. 

There are many things in the round 
of pastoral work which are ploasant. 
To visit families where you are made 
thrice welcome, whore visits are appre- 
ciated and made profitable to bntli pas- 
tor and people, enjoy lor a time social 
converse, bow together at tho altar ot 
prayer, and feel that the heart is 
warmed with the loVo of God, then 
leave with Heaven’s benedictions rest- 
ing j/pon the family, this is, indeed, 
pleasant. There are oilier duties, you 
know, not so. pleasant, but equally im- 
portant, to lie performed by the pastor, 
who would not Tail "to declare all the 
counsel of God.” I remember that a 
prominent member of our church was 
complained of for violating the Sab- 
bath by one of the stewards, who 
thought the case required attention. 
As the brother was advanced in lifo, | 
and had been a member in good stand- 
ing for many years, kind and generous 
hearted, whose hospitality I »had en- 
joyed, I confess lo a degree of embar- 
rassment in approaching, him on the 
subject of the complaint, This brother 
had quite a number of servants. He 
had prepared ground to set out potato 
slips, a protracted drought intervened, 
the season was advancing, and , the 
prospect for a potato crop soemed 
gloomy. On Saturday night there was 
a copious rainlall. The brother, t.liiuk- 
ing it might be the last good chance to 
arrauge 'for a crop of this valuable 
esculent, ordered cmt his servants

ground already prepared. When I

Mu. Editor: I write to most heart- 
ily ondorse the article of “Gilderoy," 
in laHt week's Advocate— " Muzzling 
God’s Oxen ’’—especially the latter 
part of it, where he speaks to that large 
class "who pay nothing jjo the support 
of the preacher.” Bro. ''‘Gilderoy” is 
a presiding elder after my own heart, 
because he helps the stewards, of 
which I am one. He is doing his duty, 
and some brother is trying to choke 
him off. This is a subject of vital im- 
portance to the success of our church, 
oue in which it ueedB educating. You 
are Nght, Bro. “Gilderoy;" don’t be

of course, feel a delicacy in urging the 
matter, the steward, after a rebuff or

Matthew Arnofit defines religion 
as -“"morality touched with emo- 
tion." A conception bo low and 
narrow of the Christian system is 
altogether becoming a Bnarling cen- 
sor, but unworthy or one who affects 
omniscience' on all subjects. Tt is the 
essence of all true morality, and in- 
spires emotion, but It is Infinitely 
more. . ^ ^ » 

We judge from the following, an 
extract from a letter signed by the 
vice-president and secretary of the 
British Evangelical Alliance, ahd 
published in the London Times, 
under date of Copenhagen, April 3, 
that there is 8 fitfHBlblllty of the Gen- 
eral Conference yet holding a ses- 
sion, despite the ecclesiastical snob- 
bery of The Lutheran State Church 
of Sweden : 

We were deputed by the London 
Council of the Alliance to visit Den- 
mark, with a view to the Conference 
being held in the city of Copen- 
hagen. We have now the pleasure 
to announce that, after conferring 
with friends of the society and other 
leading Christians in this country, 
it lias this day been decided to hold 
the eighth General Conference of the 
Evangelical Alliance in the Danish 
capital, from August 124 to 31 next. 

Ill Sweden and Norway, as well as 
in Denmark itself, much Interest 
has been awakened in regard to the 
propo al, and a large number of 
Scandinavian Christians will em- 
brace this the first opportunity of 
meeting in one of their own coun- 
tries their fellow-Christians Irorn all 
nations. Inlluential representatives 
from the various European and other 
branches of the Alliance, some forty 
delegates from the t'uited States of 
America, and a still larger number 
of British visitors will, it is expected, 
attend the gathering. 


Contaminated Money. 


Bishop Wilson has recently spent 
two weeks in South Carolina, dedi- 
cated three churches and held the 
Charleston District Conference. He" 
preached In Trinity Church, Charles- 
ton, on Centenary day* and raised a 
thousand dollars for connectional 
objects. Centenary services were 
held in the other two churches the 
same, on which the Southern Chris- 
tian Advocate remarks: 

Taking iuto account both local and 
connectional purposes, and includ- 
ing subscriptions made for the Wof- 
ford endowment at the inception of 
the Centenary movement, Charles- 
ton’s contribution up to date may be 
put down at between $8 000 and 
$9 000. And the work, with the bless- 
ing of God, is to be pressed till the 
-end -of-t-he- y e ar : — . — ; 

Happening to be in a Ohio town 
''on the occasion of a Methodist pre- 
siding elder's silver wedding, Joseph 
Cook, the Boston lecturer, was in- 
vited to be present and make a 
speech. In the course of his remarks 
he paid this tribute to the power and 
influence of Methodism: "If Amer- 
ica is ever ruiDed the Methodist 
Church will be to blame. For she 
is the strongest and most influential 
church on the continent of America 
to-day, and can do more to turn back 
ihe tide of ruin than any other 
church. Among her communicants, 
in her pulpits and at the head of her 
schools, she has some of the finest 
minds. We used to think the Meth- 
odist adapted to only froutier aud 
missionary work. But the frontier 
of our country to-day seeuis to center 
_in our larg ecitiea, where mo r e mls- 
■sionary work is needed than any- 
where else, and where odr greatest 
peril is; aud the Methodist Church, 
adapted to the city as well as the 
country, and every kind of work, 
can do much to solve the problem- 
how to save America!" 


We will publish next week the 
adminthle programme of the 'Homer 
District Centenary Committee. The 
third resolution reads as follows: 
“ That a committee be ap|>olnted in 
each church to distribute Ceuteuary 
literature, solicit subscriptions to the 
New Orleans Christian Advo- 
cate, and to assist the pastir in 
Centenary operations." Much every 
way depends upon the circulation of 
our periodical and tract literature. 
An industrious committee in each 
pastoral charge soliciting subscrip- 
tions for the Advocate during the 
next few weeks will make the largest 
contribution to a successful Centeu- 
ary than any other like number in 
the congregation. It is the sheerest 
folly to talk to uninformed, unread 
people about our centennial glory 
aud gratitude. They must read the 
Advocates, learn of what has been 
done aud what others are doing, aud 
catch the spirit of the year, or they 
will give nothing, aud stand amazed 
at the foolish enthusiasm of the pas- 
tor. Let auc/i a committee be appoint- 
ed in every congregation A ctiuroh 
paper in every family will assure the 
success of our Centenary. 


"It makes no difference what 
church you belong to, so the heart is 
right.” How often has that ancient 
platitude been repeated as expressive 
of large Christian charity! It is a 
proclammatlon of broad evangelical 
liberality as opposed to narrow sec- 
tarianism. But we hesitate not to 
say that the oft-quoted words are 
mere sound and a snare. It makes 
all the difference what church you bc- 
lony to. We do not inveigh against 
evaugelical denominations that Btress 
the great doctrines of justification by 
faith and the witness of the Spirit. 

In the providence of God, by their 
different polities and methods, they 
have wrought mightily to the pull- 
ing down of strongholds and the up- 
building of the Redeemer’s kingdom. 
May a perpetual Bentecost abide 
upon their pulpits and pews, and 
their trophies multiply with the re- 
volving years! Yet we claim that 
a difference in church relation Is Im- 
portant, and may be vital. It in- 
volves motive, Intelligence and con- 
vletiuu=tbB three things that Ulflhr- 
eutiate character , 

The expression above quoted indi- 
cates indifference to the denomina- 
tional tie. And such Indifference is 
born either of ignorance or irrellgion. 
Making open confession of Christ 
and assuming membership in his 
church involve responsibility, and 
presuppose solemn purpose and con- 
scientious eoftviction. It is not a 
mere pastime or religious dress- 
parade, to he indulged for self-grati- 
fication or public inspection. If sin- 
cere, and the inspiration of earnest 
prayer, it is a clear, lull and final de- 
cision for Christ— a soul seeking fel- 
lowship with the people of God to 
help hiui work out his salvation. 
What church he joins, therefore, Is 
of infinite concern, because Involv- 
ing eternal interests. To be indiffer- 
ent about the matter must evidence 
one of two things— either ignorance 
of the Bible as a system of truth or a 
vitiated motive which is gross irre- 
ligion. 

A sincere church membership, 
therefore, is the expression of an in- 
telligent acquaintance with the 
Bcriptures, and a holy purpose to lie 
spiritually benefltted. A certain 
church is joined because her system 
of doctrine is approved and her spirit 
and zeal moBt promotive of personal 
piety.' Those who are affected by 
social considerations, or who waut 
large liberty in matters of worldly 
pleasure, are controlled by a vitiated 
aud vicious motive, dishonoring to 
God and perilous to the soul. As our 
purpose should be abundant and 
efficient labor for the Lord and per- 
sonal muetness for heaven, we nrjist 
seek the church where the spiritual 
life is most sacredly conserved, and 
whose doctrines aud polity bestex- 
presB the word aud providenoe of 
God. 

Now, when such convictions are 
formed, and the relation has been 
entered Into, loyalty thereto ie im- 
peratively demanded. Change can 
not readily be effected without spir- 
itual hurt. And they who have a 
zeal for proselyting may well reflect 
if they are not imperiling rather 
than saving souls. They are disturb- 
ing convictions, poisoning motives 
and loosing ties, that will send the 
soul adrift without compass or an- 
chor. We have a righteous contempt 
for Buch ecclesiastical marauders and 
the commiseration of idiocy for the 
weaklings who are fatally ensnared. 

Nothing operates so sadly and -uni- 
versally agaiiiBt. denominational loy- 
alty as “society” so-called. It 
breaks up the associations of years, 
and pours contempt upon the con- 
victions of a lifetime. Moving from 
one community to another, where 
the old church is weak in member- 
ship, and unpretentious in soclui dis- 
play, the more “ fashionable ” is 
sought and entered, not for Christ’s 
sake, hut to serve the ends of world- 
ly ambition. Methodism has carried 
the gospel to thousands in their 
poverty, nursed them into respect- 
ability, and helped them along the 
pathway of both spiritual and social 
achievement, only to he contemned 
and forsaken in a spirit of worldly 
compromise. We know some con- 
gregations largely made up of pur- 
loined persons found In the wilder- 
ness by Methodist itinerants. 

We do not believe that all can be 
alike religious in any church. If so 
convinced, we would wish God- 
speed to every young person baptized 
auJ confirmed. We therefore appeal 
to Methodists to be loyal to their 
church, and teach their children the 
good old way our Lathers trod.

gress, tile large holders of surplus 


The Louievllle Christian Observer 
has an editorial article on this sub- 
ject, suggested by the widely pub- 
lished Incident in Philadelphia, some 
weeks ago, of Lire Presbyterian Hos- 
pital managers refusing the proceeds 
of a ball given for their benefit. The 
facts in the case above, we believe, 
entirely justify the action of the 
managers. Announcement was made 
in advance .that a ball would be 
given for the speciflo purpose. By 
that publication the hospital , would 
become the beneficiary of a ball. 
The sinful dance would be patron- 
ized in order to serve a noble Charity. 
Now, there is a principle involved 
which may well arrest prayerful at- 
tention in’ these days of money rais- 
ing for churches by extraordinary 
means. It is stated explicitly by 
Paulin these words: "Whatsoever 
Is sold in the shambles, that eat. 

* * * But if any say unto you, 
This is offered in sacrifice to idols, 
eat not.” 

The principle we want to empha- 
size fbr guidance lu Hll sucli caseB 1 b 
this: Money gained by wrong-doing, 
with an avowed purpose of devoting 
it to a Christian enterprise, can not 
be received. That dignifies the 
methods employed, condones the 
wrong, sets aside the divine statute 
against doing evil that good may 
come, and makes Christianity at 
once the patron and beneficiary of 
sin. We may not inquire how vol- 
untary offerings were made. It is 
not for us to discover whether every 
dollar cast into the Lord’s treasury 
was ill-gotten or honestly earned. 
Indeed, we may know that a certain 
contribution was the fruit of an ille- 
gitimate and wicked business, and 
yet willingly accept it. But when 
the person proposes to ply his sinful 
trade for the purpose of helping the 
church, both his proposition and 
offering must be declined. In the 
one case the church has no responsi- 
bility in the methods used to secure 
the amount. But if the offer is ac- 
cepted, and the ball given, or the 
Baloon opened, or the lottery ticket 
purchased, or the race-course stake 
put up, the church approves the act 
and condones the shameful sin. 

Now, wjth that principle clearly 
in mind, we have a rule for deter- 
mining the rightness or wrongness 
of certain things enacted at church 
“fairs” and affairs. Money raised 
at raffling should be refused. It iB 
gambling, and gambling for The 
church at a " fair ” is as wicked as 
playing at faro or bahdling paste- 
board kings in the hack room of a 
low doggery. Dancing for the 
church at twenty-five cents a set js 
just as wrong as swinging, in lustful 
embrace, through -the mazes of the 
German in any ordinary or extraot- 
■diiiOTy-balBroonrr Theend proposed 
does not purify the virtue of an act 
wrong in itself. We must be quite 
sure that all things done at church 
suppers, fairs, sociableB or entertain- 
ments are righteous altogether,' or 
the offering is contaminated, the 
cause made to suffer, and Christ put 
to an open shame. 


the logic of such narrow bigotry is 
the Speldhurst scandal. We believe 
most entirely in denominational 
loyalty, but ecclesiastical' tyranny iB 
a child of, the pit. The one Is fidel- 
ity to convictions; the other an ng» 
gresplve intolerance, whose breath is 
“ threatening!! and slaughter.” The 
one our Lord approves ; the other 
the devil applauds.

Apostolic Blows and Knocks. 


In free Protestant England, and 
in the latter half of the nineteenth 
century, church bigotry displays oc- 
casionally an intolerance worthy of 
tiie days of the Inquisition. The 
last instance we have noticed is the 
subject of Bringing editorial in the 
Loudon Watchman, that able and 
scholarly organ of English Method- 
ism. Two hoys, scholars in the Na- 
tional School, at Biieldhurst, near 
Tuubribge' Wells, were flogged in 
presence of the entire school by the 
master for having, on the previous 
Sunday, March 2, attended service 
in a dissenting chapel in the village. 
The case was so scandalous as to oc- 
casion Parliamentary inquiry aud 
explanation. Aud the beating was 
done in the presence of the clergy- 
man and his sister-in-law, who ex- 
acted a promise of the entire school 
by holding up their bauds not to 
repeat the offense. The Watchman 
makes the point aud sharpens it, 
that such outrages are the logical 
expression of doctrines championed 
.by a school of bigots in the Estab- 
lished Church. And in support of 
the charge quotes largely from a 
work by the Rev. Frederic Aubert 
Gace, vicar of Great Barling, Essex. 
He taught that' it was a sin to enter 
dissenting “meeting bouses, that 
dissenters were gross heretics, aud 
their worship wicked and idolatrous. 
The Bpeldhurst flogging is the logic 
of suoh doctrine. Aud, if the^ condi- 
tions were as favorable, like intoler- 
ance would he enacted on this side 
the sea. What warnings and pas- 
toral threatenings are used among 
Remanists and Episcopalians to 
keep members of their congregations 
from attending the worship of dis- 
senters ! They are exhorted to stay 


This body met in the hall of the 
Young Men's ChiliBtlan Association, 
Philadelphia, on Thursday of last 
week. All the Bishops were present, 
including the venerable senior 
Bishop Simpson, who has been 
critically ill, and 309 of the 117 dele- 
gates. Dr. D. B. Monroe, of the 
Central Pennsylvania Conference, 
was elected secretary. It is an in- 
teresting coincidence that lie and 
Dr. John 8. Martin, secretary of the 
Southern Methodist General Confer- 
ence, were for several years fellow- 
raeffibeff of the old Baltimore Cnn= 
ference, and in the boyhood of the 
former the latter was his pastor. 
Addresses of welcome were delivered 
by Rev. Dr. A. Longacre aud Gov. 
Patterson, who is the soil of a Meth- 
odist preacher. To these cordial 
words of welcome felicitous responses 
were made by Bishop Bowman and 
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk. The Bible 
used in the religious service at the 
opening of Conference formerly be- 
longed ,tq John Wesley, and was the 
one used by him in liis study for 
private devotion and pulpit prepara- 
tion. It became the property of 
Joseph*" Benson, the commentator, 
and through his son passed into the 
hands of B. D. Waddy, M. I\, of 
London, England, "who presented it 
to the Methodist Episcopal Church 
as "a token of an English Method- 
ist’s love." A mon gibe notable men 
present are Ram Chandre Bose, the 
native lay delegate from the Bouth 
India Conference, and Rev. William 
Taylor, the founder of " free mis- 
sions” in India aud South America. 

Tiie Bishops' address was read 
by Bishop Harris. It gave tiie net 
numerical increase of the church 
during the quadrennium as G9 232 — 
the accessions were 158 ,587. There 
are ten theological seminaries, 15 
colleges, 60 classical institutions and 
8 female colleges. The Bishops re- 
ferred to the laxity of Ihe laws of 
divorce and recommended stringent 
regulations with regard to solemn- 
izing the marriage of divorced per- 
sons. They suggested the election 
of additional Bishops, but did not 
indicate the number. 

Much discussion was had on the 
first two days in an endeavor to im- 
prove the . plan for tiie organization 
of " G eneral Conference-committees. 
But at .last the old order, substan- 
tially, was adopted. Up to tiie hour 
of our going to press but little had 
been done beyond a mere organiza- 
tion. The Revs. Robert Newton 
Young anti Sylvester Whitehead, 
fraternal delegates from the British 
Wesleyan Conference, arrived on 
Friday and were introduced. Their 
formal addresses aud those of other 
fraternal delegates will probably b% 
delivered on stated evenings during 
this week. 


" The Magnetic Rock.” 

In tiie Mny number of tiie Pulpit 
Treasury Dr. Theodore L*. Cuyler, of 
Brooklyn, contributes an able and 
stirring sermon on “Demas, Ihe 
Deserter." Its careful reading would 
excite alarm and awaken reform In 
many a sluggish and backsliding 
church member. BO striking and 
timely are some passages that we 
gladly give them editorial space and 
endorsement. Without wlshiag to 
divert attention from the leading 
thought we can hut express surprise 
that a son of John Calvin should 
avow the doctrine of the last few 
sentences quoted below. But they 
are scriptural aud a dread warning 
to the backslider: 

Do you remember the reading in 
your childhood, in that favorite vol- 
ume of oriental stories, about Sin- 
bad’s voyage into tiie Indian ocean ? 
Do you remember that magnetic 
rock that rose from the surface, sur- 
rounded by a placid aud glassy sea? 
Silently the ship was attracted to- 
ward it; silently the bolts' were 
drawn out of the vessel’s sides one by 
one by the magnetic rock! And 
when tiie fated vessel drew so near 
that every bolt and clamp was un- 
loosed the whole structure of bul- 
warks and masts and spars tumbled 
into helpless rubbish in the sea and 
Ihe sleeping sailors awoke to their 
drowning agonies! 

Bo stands the magnetic ro,ck of 
worldly enchantments! Its attrac- 
tion is silent, slow, but powerful

sor and — lie is a wreck! He flound-

is gone! Tt was silently drawn out of 
him by that mighty loadstone of at- 
traction— an evil, godless, self-pam- 
pering, Christless world. 

* * * * 
Desertion of Christ begins in tiie 
occasional neglect of duty and tiie 
occasional yielding to what men call 
su+all sins. '."This once only” 
pleads the temper. “TbiB once 
only " pleads iudolence when the 
hour for devotion comes. “ This 
once only” whispers tiie syren 
when some sinful place of entertain- 
ment opens its attractive doorway. 
“This once only” pleads appetite 
when tiie" intoxicating glass is oflV-r- 
ed. “This once only” has. made a 
man a tipple, and another man a 
rogue, another a libertine, another a 
Bab bath breaker, and another a back- 
slider or an apostate. Such- small 
leaks have sunk great ships. “This 
once only” soils a conscience and 
often breeds a lust that becomes in- 
veterate. One neglect of duty paves 
the way for another. One desertion 
accustoms the man to tiie path of

tian never should “get used to" —

It would be just right for every 
station and every appointment of 
every circuit in our Conference to 
have in active operation a Woman's 
Foreign Missionary Bociety.aud 1881 
is the very year . in which to start our 
women iuto this grand work; Statis- 
tical Report No. 1, as published iu 
our Minutes, discloses tiie fact that 
there were last year only fourteen 
charges where tlieee organizations 
were at work. The natueB of the 
charges and the amounts raised are 
as follows: Caroudelet Street, 

1371 50; Trenton circuit, $206 70; 
Shreveport, $173; Mansfield, $150; 
Mooringsport circuit,. $107 05; Bt. 
Charles Avenue, $100; Felicity

$75; Miudeu, $21' 10; Baton Rouge, 
$20 20; Tulip circuit, $10 20; Pleas- 
ant. Hill circuit,, $13 ; Alexandria and

total, $1 300 65. 

These fourteen charges reporting 
$1 360 05 as raised by the women for 
foreign miBBloug, how large a sum 
might be raised If this year, iu every

should be put iuto operaliou a 
Woman’s Foreign Missionary So- 
ciety? Ou circuits and In country 
places there is some difficulty attend- 
ing the organization and mainte- 
nance of these societies, but, anyhow, 
let the attempt be made, and it will 
be found quite practicable, and cer- 
tainly very helpful to the missionary 
cause. Ou page 11 of the Mluutee

Tiie other day I was buying some 
quails from a countryman, who had 
netted more than a huudred— ail of 
them alive. “A nickel apiece ” was 
his price. He did not discount a 
dozen, nor even a hundred. I hand- 
ed him fifty cents, and lie begun to 
deliver tiie birds to me. I was trying 
to put them alive into a paper sack. 
If any of my readers think that such 
a feat requires no dexterity let him 
try to put ten live quails in a half 
peck paper sack. One of the birds 
got loase and flew to the tojj/^f a two 
story brick store and sat, / “(aiid noth- 
ing more.” I asked a friend to help 
me witli the rest, and none of my 
other nickels took wings and flew 
away. Ou my having secured the 
nine I begun to reflect upon tiie 
words of the wise man, “as u bird 
from tiie hand of the fowler.” I will 
number my reflections: 

1. Birds are specially the ol.ject of 
the predacious and sporting both of 
birds and men. Though blessed with 
wings, it seems that for that very 
reason they are more obnoxious to 
pursuit and capture. Bo ''man need 
not complain that he is not wiuged. 
Perhaps if he were so salvation 
would be next to Impossible. More- 
over, it is noticeatde among meu 
that the most highly gifted are most 
liable to be overlukeu hf some temp- 
tation or disaster. Intellect and 
moral nature of shining features fur- 
nish no Immunity, hut rather serve 
as a sign or mark for the enemy. If 
no burner's arrows fly near or pierce, 
if no traps are batted, It is good nega- 
tive evidence that tiie game is not 
worth catching Medlocres have no 
hair-breadth escapes, no horrible 
depths of woe or despair. They 
know nothing of the agony of isola- 
tion, and that a pursued Isolation, 
where loneliness is not solitude nor 
secrecy security. The bane of hero- 


not pursue quails to study esthete 
He is a caterer to the lowest appetite 
“A dish fit for a king ” can he relish! 
e^ as well or better by a hog. Yet 
seems that royal faculties are some, 
times taxed to their utmost to find a 
rellshable dish. But the caterer se^ 
in the quail "a uickel apiece.” This 
would be all the same Whatever the 
form of the bird. Call to him as the 
quail runs so lightly along the hedge 
and speak of its beauty. "A nickel 
apiece.” Let the bird whlr-r-r-r 
away across the field and hide in the 
sedge. "A -nickel apiece.” Tlieage 
is utilitarian. It looks to men &s 
machines or horses or quails accord- 
infj; to the use to be made of them. 

The political economist puts the 
working man down at $600. There 
is a higher value set upon some pub- 
lic speakers, showmen, etc., not f or 
the actual muscle, but for the sport 
they furnish. But the demagogue 
who buys his votes by the drink 
comes nearly to my quail man, and 
takes them .at “a uickel apiece.’’ 
This age, that has sacrificed a million 
of men and five thousand millions of 
money to abolish the human ghattel, 
has figured down tiie whole race to 
chattel values. If meu studied men 
as men, for the wealtli of heart and 
soul, for Hie matchless symmetry 
and beauty of spiritual structure, it 
would tie an ennobling study. To 
catch tiie imagination upon the 
wing, to rise with reuson, mounting 
its colossal arguments skyward, is a 
glorious thing if we would fly or 
mount alongside ; hut when we grasp, 
cage, chain these to lie sold in tiie 
shambles to cater to the lowest ani- 
mal appetites of our nature is more 
than a parody on tiie study of man 
as man. 

3. "Out of the hand.” Tiie bird 
got away. The last chance. Il 
looked and no doubt felt solitary 
upon that house-top. Genius now 
ami then does flounce out of the 
dutches of u gourmand world and 
soars out of reach above the busy 
marts of men, who are chaffering 
over “ a nickel apiece.” Yet. there 
alone it sits, and, though itself 
escaped, it thinks of its kindred ull 
eaged and waiting the spit of “the 
king of men," whose genius lies im- 
mediately back of the navel, Poor 
bird ! better come down iuto the Dag’ 
again. No; " out of tiie hand " stay 
out. It is a sad lot, indeed ; a perch 
above men who think to be eaten is 
belter than solitary elevation ami 
safety. Away over tiie weary 
stretches of wood and fell, to the 
home of the.blrdiing fly, and teach 
aud nurture others in God's higher 
delights aud glories. 

d lT In tlTe-fnwier's bands -t ry -to- 
be tiie first to get away. ' Your fate 
will tie no worse for the attempt if it 
prove abortive. Afterone successful 
attempt tiie fowler becomes more 
careful. He calls in help, auJ in Ills 
hands your life, your beauty, your 
love of liberty anij glorious flights of 
mind are all reduced to the iiuiim- 
aginative, unsympathetic, soulless 
"nickel apiece." When you are set 
freetiy your endeavor you will enjoy 
the loneliness of liberty, which is to . 
some more intolerable than com- 
panionship in chains. You will hear 
so plainly that it will seem to be 
your own heart saying: “Fly down 
again. It is the doom of all to suffer, 
to tiie, and that too, for those whose 
thoughts never soared above 'a 
nickel apiece.’ Fly down and brave- 
ly perish with your mates.” Don't 
dolt. They are the perishing. There, 
are those yet free, and who may 
never tie snared. Dare to live, soli- 
tary and called coward,- renegade; 
but live, for a living sacrifice is ac- 
ceptable to God amt posterity.

the ark. 

It Is strnnge Unit the child of God,

who knows, by blessed experience, 
how sweet that rest is, should ever 
again dopart from him and seek it olso-

tlml it not. 'Wherever they a«ok It, 
and in whatever objects, and howover 
diligently, they do not succeed. They

They, and they only, find rest unto 
their souls who dwell in the secret

over the whole college of young men, 
and was respected and beloved by 
all. lie talked with them as calmly, 
and gently as a father would to his 
children. One morning early, as we 
entered the room for prayer, not a 
seat was to be found. 11 was the 
morning for Jiujge Longstreet to 
conduct prayers. When he came in 
and found no seats, he said: “ Young 
gentlemen, if you prefer . to stand, I 
am perfectly willing, you should do 
so.” Not another word was said, 
and the young men all stood while 
the president read a chapter and 
prayed. The next morning not a" 
seat was missing. 

On my arrival at Oxford I connect' 
ed myself with the Methodist Church 
aud attended all the means of grace ; 
hut it was a service without any joy 
to me. There were two or three 
other young men of my class who 
united with the same church. In 
1850, during my third: year at the 
university, a revival of religion began 
in tho Methodist Church, and some 
few persons were converted. I began 
to feel there was no hope. for me, 
especially when I saw the meeting 
was to he brought to a close, I waH 
under conviction and deep distress of 
mind. To my great joy the meeting 
was continued in the •Cumberland 
Presbyterian Church. I attended 
these meetings uh often as I could, 
tyy distress of mind greatly increased. 
Day aud night I prayed in my room, 
and often tied to the grove to seek 
for peace to fuy troubled soul by 
prayer. Ho great was my anguish, 
ami so great was the struggle goingi, 
on in my soul, 1 could not attend to j 
my studies. The president and pro-| 
fessors very kindly gave me per- 
mission to attend the meetings. as 1 
often as I desired. Often did I fall 
on my knees in t lie midst of the 
audience completely overpowered^ 
ami yet I would return to my room 
| in deep sorrow and witlioutany hope'. 

; This deep distress continued for 
i twelve days and nights. Three 
i young men of the •Cumberland l’resj- 
I byttrian Church manifested a deep 
I interest ill my weltare, and while 
! life lasts I shall- never cease. to be 
i grateful to them for their prayers 
Hind the' 'lie ip which they gavcine. 

! one Sabbath afternoon there was to 
he a prayer meeting in the Cumher- 
1 land Presbyterian Church. I attend' 
j ed and found about twenty persons 


preacli the goHpel ; but I felt that I 
was unworthy to take up such a holy 
calling. I, however, assisted in 
Christian meetings, and was greatly 
blessed. At such seasons I felt will- 
i ng. to, .d o an ythi ng or go anywhere 
tile Lord would direct. TnThe early 
part of 1853 I was licensed to exhort 
and urged to join the Conference. J 
st|ll shrank from undertaking aucli a 
work. It was during this year, and 
before the meeting of Conference, I 
saw a 'letter, from Bishop Andrew 
pleading for young men to go as 
|nissionarfes to China. Ills appeal 
fired my heart with holy zeal, and 
the blessed Spirit of God stirred my 
heart within me, aud I said, I will 
(ijo even to China to preach the 
gospel. * 

The missionary hymn had often 
Inspired me witli an earnest desire to 
carry the blessed gospel of Christ to 
the regions beyond, and it seemed, 
in the providence of God, that time 
had come, I talked with my father 
About it, and his auswer was': “My 
pon, you could have no greater field 
in which to glorify God and do good 
to men than the preaching of the 
glorious gospel of Christ, and I freely 
give my consent for you to go to 
China.” To save souls became the 
burden of my heart, especially to go 
*as a missionary to China and to labor 
for the salvation of that dying peo- 
ple. After making it a subject of 
prayer I wrote to Bishop Andrew 
and received a favorable answer. In 
the fall of 18.53 the Mississippi Con- 


contact, Therefore ‘,‘he took them 
up in 'his arins, put his hands upon 
them, and biassed them.” 

Was there any objection to Jesus 
doing this work? There was. By 
whom was the objection offered? 
By Ivts disciples. What did ids dis- 
ciples do? They rebuked those that 
brought them. How did Jesus like 
this in his disciples? 11 When Jesus 
saw it, lie was much displeased.” 

“ Much displeased ” is a mild ren- 
dering, TliewordH rendered, '‘much 
displeased,” means pained, angry, 
vexed, indignant. The revised edi- 
tion gives it thus: .“When Jesus 
saw it, lie was moved witli indigna- 
tion.” Why was Jesus indignant at 
tlie conduct of his disciples? Because 
they were obstructing thp way to the 
kingdom by objecting to those com-

Do all the disciples of Jesus believe

Many do not. Does this offend Jesus

What did Jesus mean by the phrase, 
“ kingdom of God ?” Surely lie 
meant his church on earth. The 
phrase often Ijws this meilhing: 
“Jesus said to. the .Tews, The king-

Hie university had just qipened, and 
I believe I was the thirty-fifth pupil

hundred and fifty students enrolled 
tbere. Our first president was Dr. 
holmes, from tlie University of Vir- 
Khiiu. H e remained but one year. 
Judge Longstreet was our president 
llle next year, aud a more suitable 
and efficient man for tlie post could 
uot-huve been selected. Tbere were 
but two classes formed: tlie freshman 
aud sophomore. 1 was placed in tlie 
uoplioiuore with fifteen others. Dr. 
'added was professor of languages ; 
Jr ' Bledsoe, professor of mathe- 
matics, and Dr. Millington was pro-

Mmiig gentlemen in the university.

aud Head of the" Church. After ex- 
pressing indignation at tlie conduct 
of liis disciples, what did Jesus do? 
He said, “Suffer tlie little children to 
come unto me, and forbid them not.” 
By thiH lie means, Give them tlie 
exercise of their right and freedom to 
come, and then do not hinder them 
in coming. Do not provoke them to 
wrath by the exercise of parental 
authority against Divine law, which 
is tlie rule of church conduct aud 
worship. 

What was the nature or character 
of tlie act of Jesus in blessing these 
babies? Was it a pardon for their 
Bins? This is not said. Was it tlie 
regeneration uf— their, nature,? It. 
seems not. Did lie baptize them? 
No; Jesus never baptized anybody 
with water. The word “bless” ex- 
presses the character of tlie act of 
Jesus. The same word is employed 
to express the act of Jesus when lie 
instituted the Lord’s Supper— he 
“blessed” the Bread. He did not? 
change tlie nature of tlie bread, hut 
cousecrated it. It was, therefore, 
ollicially “set apart” to a holy use. 
In like manner Jesus blesses tlie 
bread in tlie eucliarist to-day through 
the ministry of his own calling and. 
sending. Then, Jesus blessed little 
children ollicially n,elll ‘ 

bership. What he di^^J^ putting 
his hands upon them, h*S ministers 
do by the application of water in tlie 
name of the Trinity.

Conference, ordained, by Bishop 
Capers, and wus appointed mission- 
ary to Nankin, China. 

On October 31, IS53, I was married 
to Miss M. I. McClellan by President 
Thornton, of Sharon, Miss. Before 
our marriage she promised to go with 
me as missionary to China, and to 
this day— more than thirty years— 
she has been a faithful worker in tlie 
glorious cause to which we both gave 
our lives, and in which we have al- 
ways felt tlie deepest interest. 

At a missionary meeting early iu 
1851, iu our neighborhood, my father 
was present, and not only freely 
j. gave of liis money-to the m issionary 
cause, but willingly gave his son aud 
daughter, and to tlie day of liis deatli 
hie felt a great interest in tlie spread

Jesus Blessing Baffles. 


In tlie gospel by Mark, he writes: | 
“And they brought young 'children ■ 
to him, tbit he should touch thern-;.| 
and Ids disciples rebuked those that j 


converted came to rejoice with me. i, r „ught them. But when Jesus saw 


This was in the winter of 1N50. The 
next year I graduated and returned i 
home a different person, and with a 
blessed hope through Christ of j 
eternal life. During this year and 
the next we had great revivals of 
God’s grace iu our midst, and often , 
did l feel tlie power of God’s grace in 
my heart. I did what I could to lead , 
others to the Saviour, and often have j ^,em, aud 
T fallen lit tlie feet of Jesus overpow- , jf. or whs 
ered by ids Jove. The Lord was lead- 
ing me in a way i knew not. 

About tljat time I commenced tlie 
study of medicine; but sueli was tlie 
working of the Spirit of God in my 
heart that 1 couhl do nothing with 
it 1 then took up tlie study of law, 
and 1 was soon convinced that God 
had a better w»rk for me to do. I 
prayed earnestly for direction, and 
was urged by Christian friends to 


it, lie was much displeased, nnd said | 
unto them, Suffer the little children j 
to come unto n.e, aud forbid them ■ 
not: for of such is the kingdom of j 
God. Verily I say unto you, Wiio- J 
soever shall not receive tlie kingdom : 
of God as a little child,. he shall not j 
cuter therein. And lie took them 
up iu liis arms, put ids hands upon j 
blessed them.” 
hat purpose did these parents 
bring their little children to Jesus? 
That lie should touch them. What 
do we understand by touch ? Touch, 
usually, meaus the sllffliUst contact. 
What does tlie word “ touch ” mean 
in this passuge? It means more than 
contact, however slight. It means 
to embrace, unite, join, fasten. Then 
these parents brought their little 
children to Jesus that he should em- 
brace and join them to hiinBelf by 


thereof offend Jesus. Those preacli- ! 
ers who so severely and vehemently 
attack iufant baptism oiler nothing ' 
us a substitute. At tills point they ] 
utterly fail to follow'the example of 
Jesus. Both parents and preachers 
stand right where tho. disciples of 
Jesus stood when they rebuktd those 
parents wiio brought their “infnpts” 
to Jesus Unit lie should take them up 
in liis arms, put liis hands upon 
them and bless them. Let us all 
obey and love Jesus.

spiritual improvement of the church. 

Resolved, That in order to obtuin 
this spiritual improvement each 
preacher iu charge conduct a series 
of centennial services, commencing 
witli the fourth Sunday in Muy (or 
as soon after as practicable) and con- 
tinuing until each appointment in 
his charge shall have been served.

Nothing has been left undone, we 
hope, to make them acquainted with 
the nature and/objeets of the Cen- 
tenary observance. A circular letter 
or address y'or every honsrhotd in the 
Church has been sent to the pastors 
for distribution among the people. 
The programme for Centenary Day 
ligs been sent to all the Clihrcli- 
pupers so that all might 
familiar witli tlie character of tlie 
services. Centenary subscription 
books have been sent to all pastors 
applying for them,, with, full in- 
structions as to their use. So, too,

by Ariatotle, whioh the schoolmen, so

subtility that the science became ab-

vnd ventured to' speak to its owner. 
The instant tliti two \eteraiiH heard 
»cli other's voices.' that blatant they 
rer.otjni 7 .ed and called each other by 
hiuyio. Their faces and form's had 
dfvnnued. hut their voices were the 
same. The man w hom t'apl. Kensonl 
hurl recdgtt'ined was M r. YY. K. Sage, of 
St. Johns, Mich., a veteran of the li.’Ll 
15. Y. Light Artillery and -both, ineai.- 
l»ors of Bnrnsiile's (Hiltons expedition 
to North Carolina. After the tirst 


household. 


Rneetinps were over, Captain Kena’otn 

raid : 

" !t hardly seems possible, S.igo, to 
. ,uw you in this condition, for I thought 
you mu si have been dead lonti agli." 

1 “ Yea, 1 do not douht it, for if I am 
•Kit mistaken, w hen we last met I whs 
ravupying h conch in the hospital; a 
victim ol ' Yellow Jack’ in ils .worst 
’ortn." 

“I remember. The war seema to 
iave caused more misery since ils 
clone than when it whs in pfengreaa,” 
repbed the Captain. “I meet olil enm- 
rarlea freqenlly who are Htifl'eriiig terri- 
bly, not so much from old wounds aa 
irdtu the malarial poisons which ruined 
lieir constitutions.’’ 

'“I think so myself. When the war 
dosed I returned home anil at times I 
would fool well, hut- every few weoka 
<3ia: confounded ‘all - yon 6 ’ feeling 
would come upon me again. My ner- 
tous system, which was shattered in 
^he service, failed me entirely and pro- 
duced one of the worst possible eases of 
aervouB dyspepsia. Most of the time I 
bail no appetite; then BRain 1 would 
/ oecotbe ravenously hungry, but the 
ouautel sat down to eat 1 loathed food. 
My skin was dry and parched, my 
lush loose and fiabhv. I could hold 
nottiioR on uiy stomach for days at a 
:Adoc, and what little 1 did eat failed to 
.oHimUate. I was easily fatigued ; my 
mud was depressed ; I was cross and 
irritable, and many a night, my heart 
. wnurd pain me so I could not aleep, 
and when I did I had horrid dreams 
*ud frightful nightmares. Of course, 
these things came on one by one, eaoh 
■worse than the other. My breath was 
suul, my tongue was coated, my teeth 
decayed. I had terrific headaches 
which would leave my nervous syBtem 
completely shattered. In fact my ex- 
istence, since the war, has been a living 
dowth, from which I have often prayed 

for ref ewe.” — — 

“ Couldn’t the old surgeon do you 
any good?” 

•• 7 wrote him and he treated me. but 
like every other doctor, failed. They 
all said my nerve was gone, and with- 
out that to build upon 1 could not get 
well. When I Van at my worst, piles 
of the severest nature came upon me, 
TSien my liver gave out and without 
’ -the use of cathartics I could not move 
y bowels at all. My blood got like a 
m-reain of lire and seemed literally to 

- • -mru ute aUve.”’ — 1 - - ' 1 - ■ 

“ Well you might better have died in 
-rattio, quick and without ceremony." 

‘‘How many times I ha-.* wished I 
twa died the day we captured New- 
wnte!” 

-J^ith!” yet J0U aie : * ow ' lhe p iclu * of ] 

I -I'rnin «■ Ukon from ltf6 ’ ' 

condition. My nervo 

-wuvi • ed ; my Btomacli reinvlgo- 

ife fac. t- __ flesh is hard and healthy; 
•gvj* . have new blood, new energy 
^ .. new lease of life wholly aa the 

ault of using Warner's Tippecanoe. 
Tins remarkable preparation, which I 
-jsmsider the finest tonic and stomach 
.-watoror in the world has overoome all 
ire evil Influences of malaria, all the 
soiaon of the army, all traces of dyB- 
wapsia, all mal-assimilation of food, and 
indeed made a new man of me.” 

The Captain remained silent for a 
while evidently musing over his recoU 
lections of the past. When he again 
raised his head he Bald : 

It would be a godsend if all the 
veterans who have suffered so intensely
